The Cranky Croc Hostel Reviews

A nice place to stay in Bogota. Its clean, safe and looks nice. The personal is friendly and helpfully. The breakfast is every day fresh and tasted good. its a little bit outside of the party zone but nearby you have a lot of bars and taxis are not so expensive.

We lost all the reserve money. It wasnt what we were lookingo for, It was durty cold and not with a good atmosphere.

Beautiful hostel in a great location. The staff was super helpful and almost all of them spoke English well and those who didn't were patient with weak Spanish speakers. The bathrooms were clean with nice hot showers. Most of the sinks in the bathrooms didn't have hot water but the one outside the bathroom with the showers always did. Nice common areas and social environment. Plenty of computers available w/ wifi. Definitely glad we chose to stay here, it made our trip to Bogota even better.

stayed here 3 nights. Nice place, a bit cold though. Not much happening when i was here though. Very close in city centre, good location.

The hostel was great! The staff were so friendly and a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. The common area is wonderful and you can meet lots of people who are staying there. My room on the second floor was quite loud because it was right above the TV room, which people were watching movies in really loud. I used ear plugs but could still hear the TV. It would be nice if the volume was turned down at maybe midnight or something. But other than that it was wonderful!

nice staff, located in the old part of the town. enough to do and see around. nice BBQ and breakfast as well for a reasonable price. nice tv room and plenty of computers, bit strange you have to pay for it though. would come back, mainly because of the very friendly staff who are willing to help

Great hostel - not too big so it was easy to meet other travellers in casual atmosphere.

Stayed in a private room due to cheap cost and was really pleased with hostel a little quiet when we were there but a good location close to many of the attractions in the city. Huge kitchen for people to use and plenty of social areas would highly recommend a stay here.

the cranky croc sure lived up to its name, as in the staff were cranky, not like crocodiles. actually they were a bit snappy, especially in the morning when they were cranky.

Best bed I slept in Colombia and really good and strong hot shower. Cheap (but a bit slow) breakfast. Really fun tour to Andres Carne de Res in Chia, good to meet other travellers. Good location in La Candelaria but I prefered staying in El Lago District.

Really great hostel. Bunks can be a little chilly at night, but warm covers are provided. Warm layers will make sure you're fine. What really makes this hostel awesome is the value breakfast in house, and the staff is really friendly and helpful. In the La Candelaria district, which is great for budget sightseeing. Highly recommended.

Good location near much of touristy Bogotá but the area can be dodgy at night. They gave me a room with no lockers though, and the staff made it seem like I was making an unreasonable demand by wanting to secure my things. I wasn't happy with that after having moved my stuff all the way from Asia. I got one finally, but I had to do a lot of complaining. Quiet enough at night with friendly travelers. WiFi is spotty and can stay down. Difficult to skype unless you use their computers (not free).

great hostel. very helpful staff, super location and great food. get on it

It was one of the nicest hostels I have been to. It was clean all the time. The beds were confortable and pepole were nice. For that price it could include breakfast, but it was a good kitchen and opertuneties to get food in the hostel.

staff were very helpful. very friendly. couldn't ask for more really

The hostel was fine but from 04.00 to 05.30 drunken revellers returned to the hostel and one was very sick in the toilet 2m from my bed. As I believe night-time is for sleeping, I moved to another hostel.

The hostel was good, a great location, friendly and helpful staff. Security was really good as each person had to be buzzed in (as well as personal lockers in your room) and the staff (literally) never stopped cleaning. Lots of extra activities organisd (party bus, barbecues, salsa lessons, sightseeing, bike tours, breakfast and dinner,...) with lots of character. Will definetly visit again!

What this hostel really needs is a common room. The closest thing it has to one is a dining room which has lots of tables but no couches. Because there is nowhere nice to sit, everyone stayed up in our dorm on their laptops which became annoying later in the night when I wanted to go to bed and they had the light on. Would not recommend if you are a solo traveller as it isnt a very sociable hostel.

Breakfast is not included, but they make you a excellent breakfast for average money. Recommended

I stayed here for two weeks and I really liked it. The hostel is in a beautiful building which is kept VERY clean. The location is a great location in Candelaria close to the transmilenio and all sorts of things and the staff here a very friendly and helpful. I miss Bogota! :(
