Worst Hostel in the world

5 stars for this hostel!? You've got to be kidding me. If I had the chance to give it negative stars, that would be apt. Pros - Location (that's it). Cons - - The moment I entered the hostel it felt like I've entered The Addams Family house; the hostel gives you a perfect feel of it's age 30+ years - They charged me 80£/night and gave me this bed with a tiny storage space below it. The bed as expected makes so much noise every time you decide to get down/get up. - No AC in the scorching heat of Amsterdam!! This made me move from the hostel on the very first night (I had a booking for 3 nights and spent 250£ but decided it's not worth spending the night here and waking up as if I've just come back from a jog). Money down the drain and had to make a move midnight!!! Thank you Flying Pig for that. I found a much cheaper hostel a little further from the city centre but with amenities that are worthy of being called a hostel. Spent 100£/3 nights and got AC, private bathroom, amazing social space, cinema hall, restaurant, superfast WiFi. Avoid at all costs. Instead go for Via, you'll regret spending money at The Flying Pig Downtown and thank me later for suggesting Via.
