I stayed at the Cranky Croc from Nov. 26-28. Everything was great! The staff were amazing! The sleeping pods were super clean and cozy. Everyone was so nice and welcoming! The activities were also great and there were so many food options nearby! Highly recommend the hostel!

I spent 12 days at this well managed and welcoming hostel in a prime La Candelaria location walking distance to many of Bogotá's wonderful attractions. There are also many fine restaurants, cafes and convenience stores in close proximity. I stayed in a room with a spacious private bathroom. The walk in shower had good water pressure and there was plenty of hot water. The bed was large and comfortable. The room also had a smart TV and plenty of storage space. The wifi reception was good. The hostel was very quiet overnight. Accordingly, I always had a good night's sleep. The hostel staff were all courteous, professional and English speaking. The hostel includes a great restaurant that serves breakfast items until noon and dinner starting at 6pm. The meals I had there were all delicious and reasonably priced. The hostel can arrange several worthwhile tours/ excursions of Bogotá for guests and offers a reasonably priced airport transport. All in all this was a very pleasant stay for me as a solo senior traveller and I would definitely stay here again when visiting Bogotá
