The Cranky Croc Hostel

El albergue estaba impecablemente limpio. Fue muy fácil conocer a gente nueva y hacer amigos. Ofrecen desayuno y cena, que son absolutamente deliciosos, aunque a veces tienden a olvidar tu pedido. Sin embargo, estos pequeños inconvenientes no opacaron mi experiencia. En general, tuve una estancia increíble, la cual recomendaría sin dudarlo. La atmósfera era cálida y acogedora, añadiendo un encanto especial a mis días allí.

Top notch! 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!

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.
