I'm a 71-yr-old female solo traveler, and this place is perfectly located, extremely clean, serves very good breakfast 'til noon, good dinner 'til 9pm, and staff is attentive and helpful. I totally enjoyed the walking tour, the graffiti tour and the food tour; I learned a lot! The sleeping area is well separated from the lobby and socializing areas, and is REALLY quiet. During my four-day stay, I never had to wait for a toilet or a sink or a shower, in the area where those amenities were shared. Guests were all friendly and considerate; no "cranky crocs" or cranky people to be found! Note to guests with mobility issues: you should ask for a private room to fit your needs, as there are some which are on the first floor and not around the uneven courtyard floor. Thanks to all for making my stay so comfortable, convenient, and economical! ##### William Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan 24 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location is perfect for people who want to be close to restaurants, nightlife and some of the city's biggest tourist attractions (Museo de Oro in particular). On the downside, the mattress was hard and My room (a prívate one with a prívate bath) was in an área next to the comunal áreas so there was some noise but nothing terrible and so I didn't request a change. ##### Megan Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 6 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Peter Stayed 12 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent stay.

Every aspect of service, amenities,safety, cleanliness, social areas vs quiet spaces, modern design is at its peak here at the Croc. The staff are warm, generous and exceedingly helpful. They make you feel at home. The ambience is welcoming, comfortable, modern and clean. It feels like home. The rooms are quiet, clean, warm, and have plenty of outlets to plug into, comfy beds and nice lighting. They offer tons of activities. Great restaurant, too. The owners of the Croc have clearly spent time traveling because they have addressed every issue a traveler faces when on the road. ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nisha 10 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### A week stay Overall I had a decent stay. The best thing about the hotel is the staff. These guys are so wonderful, I almost even want to forget the issues I had but it’s important to state that for others. I booked a private room at this hostel and $50/ night through Hotels.com. When I got to me room, I was pretty shocked. It wasn’t what the pictures showed, oh, and the room was 3 twin mattresses on the floor. Not bed frame, no table chair. It did have a private bath. There was no way this room should have cost $50/night. They had no other room available and it was late at night, i had no other choice but to stay. The receptionist (Cami) felt so bad for me that after 2 nights she moved me to a much better room which was actually only $40/night. I spent 2 days in this extremely awful room ( which wasn’t what was advertised) and paid more. I hoped i will get refunded but the owner said, they pay $10 as a commission to hotels.com so no refund. I was provided $15 credit though, which is nothing. Its not a young professional type environment. Your average crowd is probably 18- 27 yrs old. Overall, I was fine but this whole advertising incorrect room and asking guests to sleep on the floor at $50 a night sounds shady. I don’t like this at all. Is this even legal? Lol, can a hotel rent private rooms without a bedframe? That’s weird. In all mu travels ive been to all sorts of hotels, but not something like this. They had a small closet thats about to fall off. #206, dont take it. Its awful. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/526526CBF215BB69B2DD4D570915F2C432CE74431673386418483.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A60287355A21112AFFC69EA325F9CCB2AEDF8E161673386415563.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nisha Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 3 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolument parfait pour un voyageur solo! ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria 8 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Maravillosa la atención y limpieza Del lugar! ##### Victoria Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [City Nest Apartments by Adrez Living](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels-City-Nest.h31106302.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Hull New Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hull-New-Theatre-Hotels.0-l553248621533023353-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Porthcawl](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Porthcawl-Hotels.s50-0-d177962.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [HI New York City - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-HI-New-York-City.h10052731.Hotel-Information) > > [Dale Hill Hotel & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadhurst-Hotels-Dale-Hill-Hotel-Golf-Club.h8250940.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lorca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lorca-Hotels.d6023636.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near KoKo London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/KoKo-London-Hotels.0-l553248621533023719-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [B&B Limerick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limerick-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d4891-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Fito Aqua Bleu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samos-Hotels-Fito-Aqua-Bleu-Resort.h13559335.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Ksamil](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ksamil-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6193554-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Newton-le-Willows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Le-Willows-Hotels.d6054249.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Isle of Arran](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d6182023-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [JW Marriott Hotel Bogota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bogota-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Hotel-Bogota.h3565915.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Jurien Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jurien-Bay-Hotels.d6127774.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Alicante City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alicante-City-Centre-Alicante-Hotels.0-n553248633937780713-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Vagan (SVJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/svj/manchester-to-svolvaer) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Prayagraj (IXD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ixd/london-to-allahabad) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Lagos (LOS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/los/manchester-to-lagos) > > [flights from vadodara airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/bdq/flights-from-vadodara-airport) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Port Moresby (POM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/pom/london-to-port-moresby) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Johannesburg (JNB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/jnb/london-to-johannesburg) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Rugby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Rugby.d5675-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages
