I recently stayed at the Cranky Croc and had a fantastic time. The location is perfect for exploring Candelaria, with plenty of restaurants and sights within walking distance. The rooms are comfortable and quiet, with a great view of Montserrate. The hostel offers a variety of activities and tours, and the breakfast options prepared by Chef Eddy are delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful, creating a sociable and welcoming atmosphere. it was a great experience and the perfect place to start my trip.
Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

I had a fantastic stay here at this hostel. The room I stayed in was huge and had a decent-sized bathroom as well. The TV had a good selection of channels and the bed was super comfy. The breakfast options were amazing with plenty of choices, and the prices were very reasonable. This hostel had a great kitchen, although it was lacking oil. On the weekends, the atmosphere was lively and there were lots of activities planned. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they even offered information about tours they didn't run themselves. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby attractions and there were plenty of restaurants nearby. The facilities were kept very clean, and the coffee was delicious.
Nothing negative to say.

We had a fantastic stay at the Cranky Croc! The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city. The breakfast was delicious, especially the coffee. The cleaning staff did an excellent job keeping everything spotless. The hostel had all the little conveniences that travelers appreciate. Although the dorm room Wi-Fi was spotty, the common area had excellent Wi-Fi. The building itself was unique and interesting, making our stay even more enjoyable. we highly recommend this hostel.

The hostel's location is perfect, right in the heart of the city, close to main tourist attractions and plenty of food places nearby. the double room with en-suite was spacious, clean and had a modern bathroom. the staff were lovely, providing great advice and directions. the common area was a great spot to meet and chat with people, and the noise didn't bother the rooms. the hostel offered great tours and had a friendly and helpful staff.
The beds were not comfortable, they were very hard with horrible flat pillows.

We had a fantastic stay at the hostel! The location was great, with easy access to the old town, the National Museum of Colombia, and the Monserrate hike. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The rooms were very clean and well-maintained, and the hostel had excellent facilities, including a kitchen and a bar that served delicious breakfast and dinner options. We also enjoyed the social activities offered by the hostel, which gave us the chance to meet other travelers. one of the best hostels we've stayed in!
Nothing for me.

had an amazing stay at a hostel in Bogota this summer. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and Chris went above and beyond to help us with our surfboards. The location was perfect, close to great restaurants and bars. Definitely would stay again!
Noisy neighbors next to the room.

The hostel had a great location, right in the heart of the city with easy access to bars, clubs, and restaurants. the hostel offered a variety of choices for breakfast, ensuring that there was something for everyone's taste. - the staff were friendly and helpful, providing informative and useful advice for activities and tours.
The Wi-Fi in the dorm room was spotty and not reliable, making it difficult to stay connected. Some of the dorm rooms had cubby-hole style beds, which offered increased privacy but made it difficult to socialize with other guests.

I recently stayed at Cranky Croc for a few days on a sightseeing trip. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the old town with immediate access to all the main attractions. The facilities were comfortable and clean, and the dinner at the hostel was excellent. Despite there being fun activities going on at the front, the room area was surprisingly quiet. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and spoke English fluently. it was a great experience with a variety of rooms, organised events, and a resident cat and dog.
Strongly recommend this hotel.

Loved the common rooms, reception and cleaning staff, tours, and the interesting building. Comfy beds, nice private rooms. Enjoyed the communal tables and meeting new friends, table tennis and the roof terrace. Grateful for the help when we had issues with our previous hostel. Thank you to all the staff. Xxx
Felt very happy, no reason to complain.
