About

Kori Gems Inn

Kori Gems Inn sits in the San Cristobal barrio, a 16-minute walk from the Alpaca-fleece clothing souvenir store and a short stroll from the main square. The 13-room property keeps a low profile behind locked front doors, with a sun terrace, garden furniture, and a smoke-free policy throughout.

Rooms are simply furnished with parquet floors, heating, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms with hot showers. Families have a Superior Family Room with two king beds or a mix of singles and a queen, while smaller groups can use the triple or quadruple configurations. The inn runs a snack bar, offers in-room breakfast, and can arrange laundry, tours, and airport transfers for a fee.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 12:00 and 23:30, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
  • Very early check-out — Check-out starts at 04:00 and must be completed by 10:00, earlier than typical for many hotels.
  • No pets allowed — The inn does not accept pets, which may limit travel plans for guests with animals.
  • Limited on-site parking — No parking is listed on the property, so guests arriving by car may need to find street parking or use the paid airport shuttle.
  • Small scale — With only 13 rooms, availability may be limited, and some amenities like a full restaurant are absent—though a snack bar is available.
