Posizione centrale, personale cordiale e gentile. Camera da quattro pulita e fornita di tutti gli essenziali, purtroppo al terzo piano senza ascensore. Il segnale WiFi è troppo debole per essere usato in camera. Purtroppo sente spesso un rumore come di una pompa meccanica, forse quando qualcuno nell'hotel fa scorrere l'acqua che specie di notte può risultare fastidioso. La stanza è fornita di aria condizionata. Colazione abbondante e completa. Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo, ci ritornerei.

Camere piccole ma proporzionate ad un palazzo storico in un centro storico... Ben ristrutturato e adeguato alla categoria 3 stelle. Vista la zona centrale o quasi vi è difficoltà nel parcheggiare... Colazione compresa Buona la pulizzia delle camere bem tenute ed in stile antico...

10 e lode....Cosa dire dell'Hotel San Nilo? Gestito da due giovani che danno il massimo in fatto di accoglienza, gentilezza e volontà di non sottovalutare nessun minimo dettaglio pur di farti sentire a casa. Ambienti pulitissimi e cucina superlativa ambasciatrice dei veri autentici ed antichi sapori rossanesi che lasciano il segno sia nel turista che, come nel mio caso, di antico rossanese desideroso di ricordare dopo oltre mezzo secolo di lontananza.
