Great location, quiet and scenic. But the beds didn’t have curtains and wish there were more toilets!

If you can get it for cheap, then it's all right.
Got a good deal on the Pig. It was in a decent location and I was able to get around the city with ease.
It was a little grubby, tho. Simply painting the walls would be a big improvement for the place.
No elevator and lots of steps. Gotta go downstairs to then go upstairs to get outside.
Again, if you can get it for a cheap price and don't have too high of standards, then you'll be fine.

Everyone was so friendly! If you have issues with accessibility, be aware that there are a lot of steep stairs up to the rooms.

Lovely location right next to Vondelpark. Breakfast was good and staff were friendly. Not enough bathrooms for the rooms, and not a good setup for the showers.

It was fine. As far as hostels go, I would go here again. The only downside is that the common area is usually noisy and full of people drinking. So if you’re looking for a hostel that is quieter for you to read or work, this probably isn’t a great option.
