Hotel Casa Rustica
HOTEL CASA RUSTICA was established in 2006 as a budget hotel with many options, all of them to make your stay, pleasant & comfortable. We also remodeled the hotel in April 2009 & again in March 2011, to make it even better. Ideally located, just 1 block west of the central plaza, about a 1 minute walk. This allows you to be close to the most important sites in town & gives you a short & safe walk back home every night. Everything you need is close by, from restaurants to shopping to historical sites. Hotel Casa Rustica offers a quaint Cafe, along with a Travel Agency, Internet Cafe & Typical Shop. We offer 14 beautiful & private rooms, all with cable TV. 9 rooms with private baths inside the room & 5 rooms with common baths, just outside the room. Of the 5 rooms with common bath, there are 3 bathrooms to service these rooms. So, no waiting for the bathroom. We also offer a large room for up to 6 friends or family members with a private bath & cable TV. Most rooms have very nice & spacious hand carved wood closets with lockable draws for your valuables. A few others have beautifully hand carved armours. All rooms have hand carved desk, night stands & hand forged iron lamps. Each room is nicely decorated with typical Guatemala textiles, pictures & bright colors.
