The Cranky Croc Hostel

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!

This little gem of a hostel is the perfect place to stay in Bogotá. The staff is friendly and professional. Interesting tours leave from the lobby each morning and afternoon. The small restaurant makes excellent coffee and breakfasts. There's a ping pong table, a roof garden, kitchen and a roof garden, all steps from the Gold Museum and other attractions.

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.

Great location and Courteous and helpful staff at the hostel…. We would definitely go back .
