About

Times are changing. Travelling is no longer a marathon of visits to different places. Neither posting hundreds of fake-filtered pictures on social media. It’s about connection, discovery, exploration and more than ever; to make a positive impact. At Casa CarpeDM, you can do just that!

Staying with us feels as hanging out at mom’s, (familiar and safe) but then, at the very entrance of the Historic Center of Quito. This combination of worlds will make your stay way more interesting. On one hand: ancient churches, museums, narrow and historic streets, local markets and Ecuadorian handicrafts, and in the other: a comfortable room, cozy bed, simple yet tasty breakfast, and Wi-Fi everywhere, all the time.

Check this useful information that will help you choose Casa CarpeDM as your first and best option for lodging in Quito.

Amazing place to stay with amazing views and right by old town. What makes the hostel is how sweet and attentive Fernanda is. She is very welcoming and makes sure you are well taken care of. She helped me sort out the logistics of my trip and treated me like family. She is the best!

I love this hostel! Landed without a plan and only two days to see it all. Fernanda set up my taxi, took care of my emergency laundry situation, booked me a free walking tour of the old city, and then scheduled me an intimate, affordable 1-week Galapagos cruise. She made my trip amazing. Never seen anything similar. She pours her passion and love into creating a great experience. The area is extremely safe. I only wish I’d had time to try her breakfast on the terrace overlooking the city.

Casa Carpedm was my first stop on a 3-month solo travel. I couldn't have picked a better place to start. The hostess went above and beyond to make sure that I had the best possible experience in Quito.
