Flying Pig Palace Hostel
Fodor's Review:
For those backpackers who like to chill out and save a load of money, the Flying Pig Palace is the favored choice of "piggies" everywhere. The admittance policy is strict: if you're not a backpacker aged 16 to 35, you'll have to look elsewhere. The price includes not only breakfast and sheets, but also free Internet, and the use of in-line skates (so lace up and explore the park, or join the once-weekly night skate throughout the city). There's a bar claiming to serve the cheapest beer in town, and you can cook with other guests in the kitchen. If you're traveling with an amour or don't mind sharing with a friend, the best deal is to book a queen-size bunk bed in one of the dorms. Pros: fun atmosphere, tons of activities. Cons: no particular Dutch flavor, can be noisy.

The Flying Pig Palace Downtown was awesome. A stone's throw away from Centraal Station, it was inexpensive ($23 US a night) and included free breakfast, free internet, free movies etc. Also, the lounge has a bar, a window looking out into a busy ally, pool table, and an overall great atmosphere. The crowd is mostly young backpackers and the rooms are great along with the staff. Very safe and very clean; would definitely stay there again.
