Just email us at here and we’ll extend your booking manually (if availability allows). Another incredible way to reach us is by using our instant chat. Try it!

We have a 72-hour cancellation policy, which means you can cancel without penalty three days before your arrival. If the booking is cancelled after this time, you are subject to a penalty charge equivalent to the first or only night of your stay.

If you have done your reservation through a booking-platform (Booking.com, Hostelworld, TripAdvisor), cancellation policies might change. Please make sure you read carefully the Cancellation Policies section.

For all reservations, we require a deposit at the time of booking. This deposit equivalent to the first night of your stay.

We are located at the very entrance of Quito’s Old Town. Here some references points you can use to guide yourself.

• AIRPORT – CASA CARPEDM: About an hour by taxi and an hour and a half by bus.
• MARISCAL – CASA CARPEDM: About 10 minutes by taxi, 15 minutes by bus and around 30 minutes on foot
• HISTORIC CENTER – CASA CARPEDM: About 5 minutes on foot!

There is parking in the corner of the hostel but heads up, it doesn’t belong to us. If you want to park your car there, you’ll have to check availability and prices directly with its owner. We will be happy to assist you in the process, but we cannot assure you of a space or that your car will be 100% safe.

Of course. And it’s FREE, too. You have access to our free Wi-Fi throughout the entire building. Enjoy!

TIP: Please keep in mind that WI-FI connections in South America tend to be slower than in the rest of the world. Breathe and go along with it!

Yes, Casa Carpedm serves breakfast from 7:30 – 9:00 am every day. Granola, fruits salad, yogurt, fruit juice, tea, coffee and scrambled eggs are always available. Our breakfast is simple, yet fresh and as healthy as possible.

In case you want to make some add-ons to Casa Carpedm’s breakfast, you’re more than welcome to request some eggs sunny-side-up (exchanged for the scrambled eggs) or bring your own snacks to complement it. We have a fridge to keep your stuff fresh and you can take full advantage of the local markets in the area.

Please, keep in mind some important rules for our breakfast:

• Even though we love spending time with you, it’s unlikely that the kitchen remains open after 9:00 am. If you show up at this time, or later, maybe you won’t enjoy the full breakfast.
• We know you are hungry, and breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, we have a bunch of lovely guests as hungry as you! 🙂 Please, be aware of the amount of fruit and bread that you eat.
• We don’t offer any type of sausages or meat in our breakfast. We like to be friendly with vegetarians, vegans, and organic food lovers.

Yes, they are. We provide fresh, crisp linen and towels in every room. We even do rooms cleaning every day!

Something you need to know about us is that we love the environment. For that reason, we won´t change your towels or linen daily (let´s save water). However, if you stay more than 5 days with us, we will replace them once a week with pleasure!

We don’t. But don’t get disappointed so quickly! There are two laundry places just about a corner from the hostel. One of them opens at 10:00am and closes at 10:00pm. The other opens at 9:00am and closes at 6:00pm.

All you have to do is to take your clothes there. The rest is on them. Ahh, prices are pretty affordable, too. About $2.00 per kg.

Yes, of course. Gladly. If we find your lost item, we are more than happy to save it until you return. You can even let us know if a friend or relative will come to pick it up. Don’t forget to write to us to communicate what happened 🙂

Yes. If you arrive earlier than check-in time, we’ll store your luggage free of charge until your room/bed is ready.

Yes. You can store your luggage free of charge with us from the moment you check out until you leaves. We can also store your luggage while you’re having fun in Galapagos, the Amazon or simply exploring the rest of Ecuador. We are that nice!

Reception works 24/7. However, if you are checking-in after 9:00pm, we strongly recommend you to use our pickup service. Let´s give the other guests a good night´ sleep. If you want to book your pickup service, send us a message.

We are happy to provide you a late check-out according to our availability. Please, always check with our staff first. If possible, you can stay as long as you want for as little as $10.00 per room.

If the room is ready before 2:00pm, we’ll happily give it to you. If not, you can always hang in our social area or walk around the Old Town.

At Casa Carpedm we are happy to accept credit/debit cards, PayPal and cash payments. Here are some tips that your budget will love:

• Credit/debit card payments have a 6% extra fee.. If you decide to use this payment method, keep it in mind.
• PayPal payments have a 4% extra fee.. Don’t forget to kpeet it in mind when paying.
• Don´t take it personally, but in Ecuador, big bills aren´t popular. Don´t bring $100.00 and $50.00 bills or they´ll stay in your pocket forever. Use small bills or even better: coins!
• Checks and wire transfers are not accepted as payment methods. We are still old-fashion guys!
