Sites Hotel

We had a great stay at the Sites hotel! We stayed for 5 nights. The location is great as you are in the Poblado neighbourhood and close to some great bars and restaurants but far enough away from the main road that it isn’t too loud or difficult to sleep. We had an amazing sleep every night. The beds and rooms are comfortable with AC that’s perfect for the more humid days. Not sure what the previous bad reviews about the showers were. We didn’t have this problem at all. The shower was great. The breakfast was also super tasty. It’s continental style but they also do freshly cooked eggs and you can add ham, cheese, onion etc. We loved the breakfast everyday! The front desk staff were also super friendly and said hello/goodbye as you came and went. Would 100% recommend staying here!

### The Best Hotel Experience in Medellín: The Sites Hotel (Still Perfect, Even Sober) After 26 countries and more hotel rooms than most people have hot dinners, I’m calling it: The Sites Hotel in El Poblado is the single greatest hotel stay of my life. I’ve been spoiled by Ritz-Carltons, Aman resorts, and that one crazy palace in Rajasthan with the pet peacock, yet nothing has ever come close to this level of pure, unfiltered hospitality. You pull up and before your Uber has even stopped, the bellmen are smiling like they’ve been waiting for you personally since 2019. At check-in they hand you an ice-cold glass bottle of filtered water (branded, refillable, free for your entire stay — genius) and somehow already know your name and that you take your coffee black with one sugar. I swear they have a dossier. I felt like James Bond, except instead of a Walther PPK they armed me with perfect hydration. The staff? Royalty treatment on steroids. The cooks are sorcerers — every single plate that came out of that kitchen was cooked like the chef was trying to win my mom’s approval. Breakfast arepas so fluffy I considered framing one. I left five days later noticeably rounder and 100% at peace with it. Location is stupidly perfect: right in the heart of Provenza, literally next door to El Libertador, the best whisky bar on the face of this earth (fight me). You finish a flight of 25-to-40-year-old Scotch, take eight steps, and you’re back in your cloud-bed. Safe, vibrant, impossible to beat. It’s not the cheapest spot in Medellín (you’ll pay Bogotá-five-star prices), but I’ve spent twice as much in worse places and left angry. Here I left planning my next visit before I even hit the elevator. One tiny heartbreak: no smoking anywhere on property anymore. As a man who treats a good cigar like a therapy session, I mourned dramatically on my balcony clutching an unlit Montecristo like a Colombian Scarlett O’Hara. But it’s a family-friendly hotel and the air smells like fresh linen instead of an ashtray, so I’ll allow it. Bottom line: if you come to Medellín and stay anywhere else, I will personally judge you. The Sites didn’t just host me — they adopted me for a week and sent me home a happier, better-hydrated human. 10/10. Already counting the days until I can go back and let them fold my socks into origami again. (P.S. Tell Caroline at the front desk the gringo with the water bottle says gracias. He’ll smile like he’s been waiting for the message.)

This was my first visit to Medellin, and this hotel was exceptional for its friendly staff, cleanliness, breakfast, rooms, views, pool, and especially its decor. A special shout out to Juliana, who always had a spectacular smile, spoke perfect English, and made interactions much more pleasant. Another honorable mention goes to the breakfast crew who make sure you get a great meal.

I really liked this hotel. Great breakfast. Professional and helpful staff. Clean and with lots of amenities.

Great location in the Poblado but don’t count on getting a decent shower. The problem seems to run in all rooms. Either extremely hot or very cold makes it very unpleasant. Not acceptable for a $200/hotel. Service is always good (as is in most places in Colombia).

Hotel location is amazing, staff are very kind and breakfast is good. Also, the rooftop jacuzzi has stunning views! Our room definitely had mold as our allergies were activated anytime we were in the room. No venting in bathrooms is probably the cause. Also, housekeeping was poor….our floors were very dirty….we even started taking note of obvious dirt/hair on floor and when we’d come back to room, it was still there. We only had towels replaced, bed made (sheets not replced) and a wipe down of bathroom sink. Also, told front desk that our main bathroom sink was very clogged and backing up. It was never fixed or addressed even though they promised it would be. If they address housekeeping and maintenance, which are easy fixes, then this hotel could be an amazing hotel! Staff was always kind and hospitable though!

We selected this hotel for our family vacation of 4 after reviewing several options on Expedia and Booking.com. the team at the front desk was warm and welcoming to our family. We got a room on the 6th floor. The pool and gym are on the 12th floor (penthouse). I wish they were more fluent in English as was a little challenging to even have basic conversation with the support staff at breakfast, room service and at the front desk. Overall the place is clean, quiet and just relaxing. The pool is usually warm and not very busy so we enjoyed time there. We are from Jamaica and appreciate air conditioning. We had no reason to turn on the AC as the room was always cool.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience at the Sites Hotel. The staff were extremely nice and accommodating. The room was large and clean. Bathroom was very clean and modern. A/C was great. Rooftop was OK, but to be fair we didn't have great weather on the days that we were there so it might be better on sunny, warm days. Location was Good, everything was within a 10-15 walk. Could be a little closer to the square and other restaurants and shops but we enjoyed our walks and never felt any danger. Overall, would definitely stay here again.
