Wilmelie Cruz Marrero2023-09-29My husband and I stayed in Carpedm after a long trip. Our options were Carpedm or secret garden but the secret garden was too busy to loud. Carpedm hostel is beautiful! The upstairs kitchen has city view, breakfast was delicious our room was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it if you want a peaceful relaxing and clean place!
Jackie Griffin2023-09-07My stay at Casa CarpeDM was wonderful. I was able to arrange a taxi to and from the airport for a reasonable fee with them. The driver was prompt and very courteous and kind, even walked me to the front door of the hostel! The hostel was very welcoming and beautiful, and the rooms were clean with everything I needed for an overnight stay. Beds and pillows were comfortable, which I was super grateful for after 18 hrs of travel! Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful stay. I hope to return again in the future!

Camila Escobar2023-07-26Bellísimo lugar en Quito ❤️ Fher y el resto del equipo de Carpedm son maravillosos.
Olivier Petitfuté2023-07-23A deux pas du centre historique et de la basilique, une excellente option pour les budgets moyens. Accueil très charmant de Fernanda. Paul, le propriétaire, parle parfaitement le français. Je recommande vivement. Mise à jour en 2023. C'est endroit est toujours un de mes préférés à Quito, idéalement situé entre le centre historique et la ville nouvelle, une base idéale avec un internet de qualité ! Merci pour votre accueil. Merci à Fher et à toute l'équipe pour leur attention de tous les instants

ethan v2023-09-23Quito Vacation I visited Quito before and after taking a trip to the Galapagos Islands, and I stayed at CasaCarpeDM through the agency that booked my trip. From the very beginning of the trip, even before I got to Quito, the customer service was excellent in regard to getting me a ride to and from the airport. I spoke with Fehr, and she was able to assure me that there would be a driver waiting for me when I arrived which was true and he was very easy to find! The ride was also a ton cheaper than what the agency provided as well. I ended up having breakfast and dinner on the last day at CasaCarpeDM which was great and cheap as well. Fehr also gave me some INCREDIBLE recommendations on the last day I was there. I ended up going to the "middle of the world" and Fehr was able to get me a driver to take me there and drop me off at every location and tourist site up there and the driver was there every time I was done at each location which made it a lot easier than an uber or lyft. She also mentioned going to Casa Agave which is an incredible tequila museum and bar which was an unbelievable recommendation. All in all, I had a great time staying at CasaCarpe and I would definitely stay there again if I go to Quito, Ecuador!Verified
Florence R2023-09-17Great experience The hostal is really well located. The team - Fher, Cathy and the other girls - are really nice, friendly and helpful. We had to go to the hospital because my boyfriend was sick and the called quickly a cab, sent us to a good hospital. The manager of the hotel came to visit us at the hospital and was always available for anything. As well, they are so great organizing trips for their guests. We will go back there for sure if we go back to Quito.Verified
pedro o2023-08-09excelente recepción Lugar cerca de varios restaurantes y en el centro histórico. El servicio fue excepcional y todos muy prontos para ayudar con todo lo que necesitamos durante nuestra estancia en quito. Las habitaciones están limpias y con una agradable vista al centro histórico. Lo recomiendo y volveré pronto.Verified
Carla T2023-07-28Melhor hospedagem em Quito Lugar extremamente confortável, bem localizado, de bom gosto, café da manhã excelente e equipe gentil. A Fher é uma pessoa muito especial para mim e meu marido, pois já nos ajudou muito no ano passado durante a paralisação das estradas pelos protestos em 2022 e nos tornamos amigos desde então. Não deixe de conhecer esse lugar quando for se hospedar em Quito.Verified
Sophie D2023-07-28Aanrader! Fijne kamers met goede bedden. Ook voor Nederlandse lengte goed. Badkamer prima met lekker warm water. Heel fijn dat er een koelkast is en ruimte om te koken wanneer je dat wil. Daarnaast echt een voordeel dat je gefilterd water kan tappen zodat je drinkwater hebt! We waren met zijn vieren en hebben ons goed vermaakt hier. Aanrader om naartoe te gaan. De mensen zijn ook enorm aardig en kunnen redelijk tot goed Engels over het algemeen. Ze leende ons zelfs 20 dollar toen wij nog geen contant geld hadden. Heel aardig!Verified
JosieH82023-05-20Excellent hostel We stayed at the hostel prior to our G adventures tour. The staff were lovely, friendly and so helpful. The room was basic but as expected for the price. Location was good also and they booked extra tours for us as well. Good Wi-Fi service and option of dinner as wellVerified
malorie c2023-04-27Really great place We like a lot our stay at CarpeDM. Rooms are really clean and Daniela is amazing. She gave us really good advices and she booked activities and taxis for us. The place is near to the historical center. Thank you a lot for everything.Verified
Olivier P.2023-04-15A comfortable place near the historic center with helpfull, friendly staff! I have stayed at Casa CarpeDM for in total 7 nights because it was a super nice and peaceful place! The place is located at a very nice location at walking distance from historic center and I received a lot of help from the staff. Also the best Spanish school within Ecuador "Escuela de Super Español" is super close to Casa CarpeDM which was a great experience for me! I recommend Casa CarpeDM????????????Verified
Langit Biru Balim2023-03-31Home far away from home Before our trip to Ecuador I did really searching the best place to stay in Quito that can be a homebase for my husband and I while exploring the country. I am so glad I chose Casa CarpeDM based on the reviews. I wish I can give 7 stars instead of 5. ???? Its strategic location, the cleanliness of the building, the comfortable bed, the nice sitting area upstair with beautiful view of the city, the well equipped kitchen and the most important thing is the hospitality from the owner Fher and Daniella, her daughter. Fher and Daniella kindly gave us useful advices related to our trip, treated us as family and went above and beyond every time we needed their help. I can't thank them enough for welcoming us to their casita and being so genuine, helpful and kind. I highly recommend CarpeDM. It is our home away from home.Verified
Jola_K2023-03-25Perfect accomodation, perfect location, perfect stuff - perfect stay! I had a very lovely and comfortable stay at Casa Carpe DM. Thanks to its good location the city center is in walking distance and two houses from the hostal there is a great place to get affordable lunch. In comparison to the other well-reviewed hostels, Casa Carpe DM is further away from the market place, which especially at night is a sketchy and not that safe area ow town. Therefore, I felt safe at this hostel. Especially, I want to highlight the amazing staff - Fernanda and her daughter who manage the hostel are extremely professional, have the best recommendations and contacts as well as they are very great people with lots of knowledge, good values and speak perfectly English. They are always trying to make the guests feels as comfortable as possible and have inspiring ideas. Furthermore, the rooms are super, clean and the kitchen area and community space provide with a great view over Quito and everything you need in a kitchen. Muchas gracias a ustedes, espero que les vaya muy bien!

Clare2023-10-259.0VerifiedLoved this place! ☺Great property near the Basilica and 15 min walk to Grand Plaza. The staff were fantastic, so very helpful with any question/query I had, also suggested things to do during my time in Quito. Room was spacious and clean. ☹Nothing!
Dilip2023-10-2410VerifiedExcepcional
Petra2023-10-189.0Verified☺Sehr sauber Sehr hilfsbereit Viel Infos ☹Leider hatte unser Zimmer kein Fenster nach außen wie auf booking beschrieben
Robin2023-10-179.0VerifiedGreat ☺Staff is friendly (and speaks English). Breakfast is good. Doing our laundry was no problem. Photos and information about facilities at this property on Booking.com are accurate. ☹The rooms are a little bit small and a little bit noisy.
Sophie2023-10-1310Verified☺The staff were incredibly friendly, kind and helpful, and spoke very good English - which was a real bonus for us as our Spanish is very limited. The airport pickup they organised for us was smooth and efficient. The facilities were clean and in good working order. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet enough for us to get a good sleep. I had seen some reviewers commenting on noise. It's true that there was some traffic noise in the mornings but nothing unusual for being in the middle of a big city. I would happily stay here again if I'm ever back in Quito!
Rodriguez2023-10-1010VerifiedRest and enjoy ☺Host was very kind and happy to always help us. They have many services helped us a lot. ☹Nothing was off. All good.
Evie2023-10-108.0Verified☺Nice rooms, staff were lovely and very helpful. ☹Quite a long way from main part of Quito
Orla2023-10-078.0Verified☺Good location and comfy beds.
Andrea2023-10-058.0VerifiedMuy bienCindy2023-10-0210VerifiedGreat staff, spotless rooms ☺Loved the staff here! They were so accommodating and made me feel at home (thank you Fernanda!). The dorm is super comfy and clean. Everything is spotless. Wifi was good, filtered water is provided and appreciated the airport transfers as well! Location is nice, close to other hostels and good restaurants, and a convenient walk to the historical center. ☹Huge disclaimer this is not their fault - just be aware there is some construction happening on the street in front, so it can be pretty noisy.
