Maybe it's low season. But their evening social activities were mostly cancelled or low attended

My go to hostel in Bogota. I've stayed a few times now. The food, drinks, staff and tours are excellent

Best hostel we stayed in during our South America trip, we would recommend this place to anyone. Comfy large bed, double doors between social areas and rooms so it is very quiet in the rooms overnight, really clean, helpful staff, lots of activities available each day/night.

Stayed in June 2024

The rooms but also the restaurant are rather expensive compared to other hostels, showers could sometimes be cleaner

Good vibe, nice rooms and pods, good showers, quiet at night, nice kitchen but also a nice bar and restaurant, very friendly and helpful staff, great location, feeling safe

Maybe in the future, a card/key to get into the actual rooms just for added security (although I had 0 issues).

Really enjoyed my stay in this hostel! Some of the standouts were: - All of the staff are super friendly and helpful - The airport transfers were safe, punctual and well-organised (thank you to Carlos Arturo!) - The location in La Candelaria is close to shops, restaurants and museums - The tours that they hostel helps to organise are great, and it's convenient that they depart from and return to the hostel - The food in the hostel restaurant is lovely, or you can use the kitchen to make your own - The common space is separated from the rooms, so even if there's music or chatting, you can't hear it from the rooms (unlike most hostels) - There's a social vibe, but a relaxed one rather than intense party (you can easily go out into Bogotá if you want that) - The pods are great - they give you extra comfort and privacy and they've got all the 'little things' that you need: hooks, plug sockets, lamps, lockers - Everywhere was clean and the showers worked well

I was at this hostel Feb 2023 and March 2024 on separate trips. I note that most of the staff are still there and very professional and positive. Well integrated into the local scene, their excellent English etc means they can get you sorted for tours quickly. Very impressive operation and super friendly staff!

The building, location, food and staff were all excellent. The normal dorms are OK, but I'd recommend the private little curtain beds.

very minor and to be expected in a hostel with many guests -- sometimes it was a busy noisy while i was sleeping. I used earplugs and was fine.

The staff at Cranky Croc are absolutely fabulous. Every single person was friendly and helpful. I stayed 5 nights and couldnt have been happier with my choice. Many tours use the hostel as a starting point, which is very convenient. The front desk can also help set up other tours if you need assistance. The food and beverage options at the bar/restaurant were great (I don't eat meat) and I think the daily cocoa leaf tea saved me from altitude troubles. I stayed in a private room with a private bath and found the room to be very nice.

Your own space within the dorm, but loved the communal area to and relax for yourself, but also socializing. They organise a lot through the hostel which is nice and the quality of tours is good too :)

Due to the small private compartment in combination with the thin air in 2700m altitude the air got very sticky during the night and no chance to open a window, except your compartment is the one at the window

In the dormitory where I stayed, everyone has their private compartment that could be closed with a curtain. Although it was small, it was big enough to change clothes and feel some privacy, that's really nice. The breakfast options are great and the cappuccino the best in colombia so far

Comfortable rooms and hot showers, the pods were great and more private, none of the rooms had any locks but felt safe. Chill but social place (not party) with lots of organised activities, food was good for breakky, good location in Candelaria.

This is my favourite hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the breakfast is delicious, and the rooms are clean and modern. The vibes were unmatched - it’s sociable enough that you can go out if you want to, while being quiet enough that you can just chill if you prefer. From the moment I walked in it felt like home. Great location, too!

It would have been nice to have the room cleaned once over the 5 days. It would also be good if they had tea and coffee available in the kitchen.

I like the location and whole set up. It had good vibes and the people were mostly friendly. They are very well organised and you could ask for help on anything. Easy to meet people. They offer food all through the day. I had a private room which was very comfortable
