Casa Carpedm

I can’t recommend Casa CarpeDM highly enough. From pre trip to the time you leave (and you won’t want to by the way) you receive excellent service, which is not only timely but knowledgeable on all things Quito and across Ecuador. Thank you Fher. Casa CarpeDM is a one stop shop, but also very supportive of your other plans. They made sure my trip was as memorable as possible without the hassle. I stayed longer than I intended and would have continued on if I could. It really is home away from home. If you get the chance do their free walking tour. Malena was great. Don’t leave this walk off your itinerary!!

I had a great stay at casa carpeDM! Excellent location to all . Especially old town. Walk out make a right. . Ten minutes! Room was large and comfortable. The breakfast was full and tasty. Shower was hot. Pressure was strong . Tours can be done from the hotel and are cheaper than going into town! All the tours are listed at the hotel! You won’t miss out. Fernandia the host was outstanding in helping me plan my stay. I had a fantastic eight day cruise to the Galápagos thanks to her. Planned at the last minute. Ecuador is safe to travel. You can use Uber when you land from the airport. Also during your stay. So cheap you can’t go wrong and save your time. The U.S. does not have good things to say about Ecuador. I do. People are kind . It was safe to walk around with not problems. Thou Things quiet down after 8 pm. Fernandia I appreciate all that you did for me! Again thank you! Best wishes Jose.

Starting several weeks before our stay, Fher and Kathy were answering questions and providing travel advice. With the state of emergency called 10 days before our stay we were a bit concerned but the staff were a great reassuance and resource about what was happening in Quito and Ecuador. I had booked excursions prior to booking my stay at Casa carpeDM. Had I spoke to the staff sooner, I would have booked more of my excursions (such as the Amazon) through their agency. The hostel itself is clean and well situated. The area is quiet, and you will get a good sleep, which is why i initially picked it. There's good wifi and hot water. We enjoyed the breakfast there. I would definitely advise you book the airport transfer with them as it's half the price others were paying for airport cabs. Fher was an excellent host and great resource. She definitely makes the stay enjoyable and was a huge help before and during our stay. We had an excellent holiday in Ecuador and are so thankful we didn't cancel. Everything went smoothly and we felt very safe during our trip. Definitely reach out to Casa CarpeDM to help with booking parts of your trip or to ask questions

Good location, very comfy beds, good breakfast with fresh fruit and eggs, and very nice and helpful staff! The view from the top of the Hostal was amazing! They offer airport pickup/ transfer for 25$ each way as well. Communication before the trip was easy.

***** 5 Stars. Your advanture in Quito is not only about sight you might see. This hostel gave us not only roof upon the head but even gave us local experience (ok, that was New Year’s Eve I will never forget!) Arranging jungle tours and recommeding us changing our schedule accoring to local knowledge was one the best decisions we could have maked. Fernada, the host, is one of best people I have ever met around Ecuador.

I stayed for a few days prior to a tour and was delightfully surprised by the cleanliness and comfort of Carpe Diem for the price. The owners were very nice and showed me areas to go and parts of the city to avoid. They also provided a list of tips on how to be a safe traveler. The hostel is about a 20-30 minute walk from the town center or a very short - and cheap - cab drive, especially if the hostel gets a cab for you so it's less likely you get taken the "scenic route." The owners were especially helpful when I learned, the day before I left, that I had left my passport in a hotel in Banos. I wasn't sure it was there, but one of the owners found the name of the hotel, called them, insisted that they check the room multiple times, and arranged for it to be couriered three hours to Quito in time for my flight the next day. I was so happy! The only con about the hostel was the breakfast. It was cheap, but for $3.50, you could get something much better.

everything's perfect but hopefully the curtain can be more shade. nice employee，nice room，nice location！ breakfast can improve more options if possible tour is nice shuttle service is on time and safe
