The flying pig Uptown is where I usually stay and I enjoy that property more than the Downtown location. The Downtown looked like it was under construction, but it wasn't. It smelled like urine in the halls it smelled like urine in the room. There is no bike parking next to or near the hostel which was annoying because I rented a Fat Bike E-Bike. Check-in was a little rude, check-out was easy. The bartender was very strange and the cleanliness of the bar was subpar. Glasses with dirty rims, placed on the wet bar surface then stacked glasses, gross! The bed was very comfortable and you MUST wear earplugs because everybody snores, makes noise, turns on lights, opens and closes doors. I get its a hostel but my lord get soft close doors. I think its for true back packers with little to no money for a reasonable hotel. I was using to help save money, but I wont make that decision again. I will always just get an Airbnb or my own room moving forward. The times for a hostel stay are in my rear view window. I spent most of my day avoiding the Hostel going to different provinces in the Netherlands and only was able to get 4hrs of sleep at best. If you are young and your friends can rent a whole room 4-6ppl do it, but if you are Solo really heavily consider this review. You have been notified! Its overall average, ok, I did feel safe, but man getting in and getting out was rough. I had a bike battery and you need two hands to open the exit door. Overall worth what you pay.

I was charged twice for the night and twice for a rental locker. Something is wrong with their system when I was there. Just beware.

First night was good. Second night I had to move to a new room (I booked separately) and it was not as good - company not so good and limited luggage storage. So it's good if you get the right room :)
