Liked: The staff is amazing! Help and very fun people! They make you feel home and safe! The place is amazing, with a lot of drawns on the wall and lift. The bar and the coffeeshop is amazing! The coffeeshop is inside the hostel, so, is not possible to be bad hostel! haha. The bathroom is very clean, and the people in the room very polite! Have hair dry inside the rooms, and the breakfast is amazing! The best that I have until now. Every day has a different thing in the bar, please check! When I was there they offer to us free haxixe fondue! Carefull!!

Disliked: Nothing! The best hostel ever!

Liked: In my last visit to Amsterdam, I both stayed in Bulldog and Flying Pig Downtown. First 2 days I stayed in Bulldog and last 2 days I stayed in Flying Pig. I know that people are getting confused to choose which one to stay, so I wrote the differences of them.Rooms:In Bulldog, rooms are newer than Pig, bathroom conditions are better. But Pig is also alright to stay, I got no problem.And do not bring your towels, both hostels are giving you towels for free when you ask to them.Safety:Both hostels use pass cards for rooms, so foreigners cannot access to the rooms. Both hostels have lockers in the rooms, so you can lock your private things with your own padlock (or you buy one from there). But do not expect to lock you all luggage. They don't fit to lockers. But also in Bulldog, the luggage rooms is getting locked, in your last day, you can leave your luggage after check out and make your last walks in the city till to you departure time..Breakfast:They are same which is not so good, but still you can eat and skip one meal in a day for saving money.Location:Both hostels locations are great: in the city center.Atmosphere:The music in Flying Pig is much better than Bulldog, absoluty! Pig is playing alternative tunes, no commercial ones. Also smoking room is separate in Pig, which is also great for me. But its not like a little cellar, it's a nice chill smoking room with lounge corners. In Bulldog, people can smoke in everywhere. Atmosphere in Pig is more housy and hot but also in Bulldog, I love the fireplace corner with large leather coaches. I enjoyed the Pig's atmosphere much more.. but this also depends to time and to other travelers around you met.. so this does not mean that Bulldog won't be better sometimes..Bulldog is having it's own coffeeshop which is one of the very famous in city, maybe this can be an advantage for someones..

Disliked: It was a little loud, but i think that has to do more with the people staying there than the property itself.
