Welcome to The Cranky Croc Hostel!

My name is Andy, and I'm an Australian who, from a young age, decided to leave behind the conventional lifestyle to follow my passion for traveling and exploring the world.After years of adventures across different continents, I found my home in Bogotá, Colombia, specifically in the charming neighborhood of La Candelaria.

My story begins on the roads of Australia

There I grew up with a desire to discover new places and meet people from different cultures. I traveled through Asia, Europe, and the Americas, always with my backpack and a heart full of curiosity. But it was in Colombia where I found a place that made me feel at home. The warmth of its people, the beauty of its landscapes, and the vibrant energy of its cities captivated me.

I discovered Bogotá...

And I decided to create a place where travelers could feel at home, a place that combined Colombian hospitality with the adventurous spirit that had brought me to this country.

Thus was born The Cranky Croc Hostel, a refuge in the heart of La Candelaria, where every corner tells a story and every room is a reflection of my love for this country.

In The Cranky Croc, We offer more than just a place to sleep; we offer a complete experience. Our restaurant, Original Sin, will delight you with dishes that fuse local and international flavors. You can enjoy activities like ping-pong, tours, and social events, surrounded by people who, like you, are here to explore and experience new adventures.

My goal is that, when you leave our hostel, you take with you not only memories of Bogotá, but also a part of our family. Because at The Cranky Croc, you're not just a guest, you're part of our story.

Come and join us on this adventure!
