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.

A Very Model of a Modern Major General Hostel
This hostel / hotel is the model every hostel / hotel should follow. 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.

Great stay at Cranky Croc
The Cranky Croc was undergoing renovations during my stay. However, the rooms appeared as brand new and perfectly clean. The hotel itself has a fun and friendly atmosphere and is located nicely in the downtown area. Easily with walking distance of everything downtown

Great Hostel!
This is a great little Hostel in a great location walking distance to everything in the old town. We found all the staff we encountered very friendly and helpful, there was always some on the front desk that spoke English to help us with any needs. The little breakfast restaurant on site does fab food and is very cheap, Bar also serves great cocktails and has a good range of drinks, nothing is expensive. The room was compact but very cheap and was quite fine for our family of 4 for 2 nights. The only concern if you had young kids was no sides on the top bunk, but the bottom bunk was more like a double bed so 2 kids under 10 could share the lower bunk fine. Great lounge and games area downstairs that kept our 2 boys very happy with board games and ping pong while we enjoyed the cheap cocktails and fast wifi! Overall one of the best Hostels that we have stayed in and we have been travelling the world now for 9 months!
