The only time I did the hostel thing was the Platypus in 2000, and it was a pretty fun place. I read about it here way back when.

Sr. Johnny. That hostel is not far from where you suffered the wrath of the one-eyed one. Well it is actually, but just thought I would bring it up.

There are lots of places where you can stay in Bogota. There are other hostels along the same street as the Platypus. Most places in Bogota are safe during the day. Some places unfortunately are not all that safe at night.

Yep - usually very easy to find a larger group to head out with/share cabs with if you are looking to do the evening thing - there were at least several groups headed out the nights I spent at the hostel in Candelaria - I personally was tucked in with my journal and other other travellers listening to and sharing trip-stories and adventures. Going back awhile now, but I doubt it is different in other hostels (Platypus, Feb '06).
