Review by hotel critic
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel San Max in Catania, and I must say it exceeded my already high expectations. The air conditioning was superb, providing a much-needed reprieve from the summer heat, while the soundproofed rooms ensured a peaceful night's sleep despite the vibrant surroundings. I was particularly impressed by the exceptional friendliness and attentiveness of the staff; they not only offered helpful tips about the city but genuinely engaged in delightful conversations during breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, the wide variety of options—including fresh baked goods and delightful local fruits—set us up perfectly for a day of exploring nearby attractions like Piazza del Duomo, all within walking distance. My experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and I wholeheartedly recommend Hotel San Max to anyone looking for an outstanding stay in Catania!
