The hostel was spotlessly clean. It was very easy to meet new people and make friends. They offer breakfast and dinner, which are absolutely delicious, although sometimes they tend to forget your order. However, these minor inconveniences did not overshadow my experience. Overall, I had an amazing stay, which I would recommend without hesitation. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, adding a special charm to my days there.

A Very Model of a Modern Major General Hostel
This hostel / hotel is the model every hostel / hotel should follow. Every aspect of service, amenities,safety, cleanliness, social areas vs quiet spaces, modern design is at its peak here at the Croc. The staff are warm, generous and exceedingly helpful. They make you feel at home. The ambience is welcoming, comfortable, modern and clean. It feels like home. The rooms are quiet, clean, warm, and have plenty of outlets to plug into, comfy beds and nice lighting. They offer tons of activities. Great restaurant, too. The owners of the Croc have clearly spent time traveling because they have addressed every issue a traveler faces when on the road.

This was one of the friendliest places that I ever stayed. Situated in the heart of Candelaria, the oldest district of Bogota this is the perfect spot for exploring the city and its beautiful hinterland. The staff are so welcoming and will remember your name and spend time talking - in my case a mixture of English and broken Spanish. The hostel organised taxis for me to and from the airport and both taxis were punctual and efficient. I would love to return some day.

Hands down one of my fave hostels i’ve stayed at. I spent a week at the Cranky Croc. This place has a great vibe. The communal spaces are ideal for chatting and meeting fellow travellers and i definitely met some lovely people during my week there. I stayed in the King Suite which is a private room with a private bathroom. Room 104 was spacious and had ample space for me to spread out which i tend to do. It was also relatively quiet which i appreciated. I was also given a fan when i asked for one as i tend to overheat, so i was pleased that the fan was available. The bed was decent. Comfortable enough that i didn’t have any issues. They have a laundry service. There is regular tours available including daily walking tours which i recommend doing as soon as you get to Bogota to get a quick understanding of the city. They also have football tours where you can go watch a local game of soccer. Try and get one that Lorenzo is doing! (football and walking tour) And i have to say the staff at The Cranky Croc are excellent. They quickly remember your name and what your food and beverage preferences you have. Thank you to Douglas, Camilla, Robert, Rafa and Eduardo. You guys are awesome. And lastly thanks to Andy the Aussie owner. You’ve done a great job creating this hostel. And you know i love my stubby holder! 😻 And yes to say it again, my fave hostel ever. It’s going to take a lot to beat it!

Excellent place to stay. The location is perfect. We stayed in a double room which had a private courtyard. The food available is great and good value. They have an extensive list of trips available which leave from the hostel. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would stay here again without hesitation.
