The Flying Pig Uptown Hostel is a great hostel. The rooms are really clean and offer a free locker, provided you have a lock. Located very close to the Van Gogh museum and somewhat outside the hustle and bustle was a definite plus. Transportation to the hostel is very easy.
Downstairs there is self-serve kitchen with a communal fridge. A supermarket is only about three blocks down with everything you need. The bar is open late and has good drinks at good prices. They offer free internet on three computers and the wait never seemed to be that long. Breakfast is served down in the bar every morning and it consists of cereal, breads with spreads, milk, orange juice, and coffee/tea/hot chocolate.
The Flying Pig Uptown Hostel has good security with a key coded door outside and a surveillance camera. The desk is closed at night but there is someone working the bar downstairs until late. The rooms also have key entry. They offer luggage storage the day you check out downstairs and it's locked in a room downstairs.
The front desk sells Van Gogh museum tickets so you could avoid the often-lengthy line. The staff is super friendly and helpful and they give you a map of the city with all the attractions.
You should definitely consider The Flying Pig Uptown Hostel. It's outside of the madness, but that's great if you want to just visit the madness, not stay in the middle of it.
From the train station take the Tram 1, 2, or 5 (buy your ticket on board) and it dumps you off in a square with a McDonalds and other stores. Walk over the bridge and take an right and parallel the water. You will walk by a park entrance, at the next street take a right and border the park. The Flying Pig Uptown Hostel is half way down this long street, on the left.
