Superb!

We loved every second of it. Our view was spectacular, service was top notch and food was great! we spent all day just staring at Caldera. Close to everything and only a 15-20 min walk to Fira. Would come here again and again!

Great services. Highly recommend.

Great 4 day stay at The Rocks Hotel celebrating a friends birthday. All staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. The food (room service breakfast and poolside lunch) and drinks were delicious. The pool area is rather small and can be full if all guest are out enjoying it. The location is great, away from the busy Fira but close enough to walk there. Many restaurants near the hotel to choose from. Views from the hotel are amazing. Highly recommend staying here.

I can't express how much we loved this hotel. The beautiful views, the exceptional service, and the inviting room made it difficult to leave. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Gorgeous hotel

This hotel was perfectly located. Close to restaurants etc, with a magical view. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, highly recommend this hotel.

Great hotel with beautiful views

Very nice stuff and the view to the caldera is spectacular :)

Perfect apartment

Amazing location, lovely views & rooms

We traveled 10 hours on a plane to what we thought was advertised as a luxury hotel, but our room at $500 a night for 6 nights was anything but luxurious. The hotel overbooked and gave our ‘Caldera Suite without a hot tub’ to someone else. Instead, we received a hazardously damp basement room unfit to occupy which reeked of mold and chlorine, with a huge dirty hot tub with sand in it from the previous tenants, and a nonfunctioning humidifier full of water, contrary to the hotel’s claims of rigorous cleaning between tenants. Our socks and luggage were wet with humidity as was every surface in the room. The ceilings were hazardously low near the bathroom and luggage storage areas where we kept bumping our heads (I’m only 5’6”). There were two chairs and a table in the room facing an ugly wall instead of being outside on the balcony with a view of the Caldera as promised. The receptionist told us that a lot of people didn’t like that room and we had to change rooms 3 times in a 6 night stay due to maintenance issues including no hot water for showers, not well-maintained hot tubs which we didn’t want/nor use but were forced to deal with (we had to constantly empty the humidifiers, at least 6 times, sometimes in the middle of the night, and there was constant dripping sound which made it hard to sleep) and a power outage that left us in complete darkness. We stayed at 2 other hotels in Greece for 3 and 5 nights respectively with no accommodation problems or issues.

So relaxing sitting and watching the caldera ! Simply beautiful

Georgia and jengo were amazing!! The receptionist was also exceptional!!! We can’t wait to return!

Th

We had the honeymoon suite with outdoor hot tub The room and tub were amazing and views were stunning Lovely fresh breakfast on our private terrace each morning Staff were. Wry attentive I will definitely book again we loved it

VERY friendly staff, great location, Rooms are nice

The pictures definitely look a lot better than the actual property. It wasn't terrible... it's was just OK.

Absolutely incredible

Absolutely incredible, attentive and friendly staff, always smiling, room was beyond expectations and a free upgrade to the honeymoon suite. Clean beyond anything, air con was brilliant and hot tub lovely and warm. Bed very comfortable and breakfast perfect on the balcony. My one negative would be the brightness of the fire escape light which kept me awake most nights as it’s so bright it’s like daylight - not sure it needs to be that bright. Location perfect and not too far down the steps, views outstanding. Thank you OTR team!

Best view on the island.

Staff were lovely

Stayed here for 5 days on our honeymoon. We had one of the larger rooms (caves) and loved it. Meals were okay, staff was amazing, views were stunning. Pro tip: avoid minibar and hit Jimmy's Market just up the street for extra water, alcohol, and snacks.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 out of the 5 nights we had booked. We didn’t stay the 5th night because I was done compromising. We had to stay near where wedding/parties were going on for friends that were getting married. 5 other couples stayed at this hotel as well. The SMELL in the room was so awful - stronger than sulfer, more like raw sewage that was backed up in the bathroom pipes. I don’t know what was going on with the hotel during the time we stayed, but all the couples that I knew who were staying there, said they had a smell in their room too… But none were as bad as ours most likely because our bathroom was in the back of our one bedroom suite… No windows no vent, so air couldn’t really circulate well. We were in such a rush to get to the wedding welcome party we didn’t get a chance to ask to move rooms - I just quickly told the front desk that there’s something going on in the bathroom and it smells horribly can we please get maybe a candle or some thing in the mean time. The bathroom walls also had like black mold on the walls, the toilet seat was falling off- The overall condition of the room was needing some major updating/fixing. They attempted to fix the toilet seat, but nothing was done about the room/smell. I will say the staff and the breakfast they provide is stellar which helped having to deal with the smell. We stayed our last night at the new Curio Hilton Seabreeze that is ocean front on the black sand beaches. Absolutely stunning.

It was a beautiful place with an amazing view. The people were friendly and met your needs quickly. The stairs are tough so be prepared

We had a wonderful stay here! Everyone was so helpful & friendly. Perfect location & the honeymoon suite did not disappoint. We can’t wait to go back!

Property was amazing! The staff was incredible and friendly. Especially the three people working the front desk. The Masseuse was the best I’ve had in a while and I regularly need one due to a severe car accident I was in.

Disappointing standard for Small Luxury Hotel

Stay was not upto the standard expected. Oil stains on the bed head. Shower old and broken. Lack of information on the room. Cleanliness was good. Balcony overlooking the caldera was lovely. Disappointing hotel stay overall.

Incredible

Incredible location! So relaxing and staff so friendly! Perfectly placed to walk into Thira and quick journey to Oia. Would highly recommend this hotel

Try it to believe it

Stunning views Friendly and helpful staff Room decor was simple but worked for the environs

Lovely hotel, fantastic views

It was a lovely stay, we were kindly upgraded to a suite. The pool and bar staff was very relaxing with amazing views.

Service/View: Can't get better but mind the stairs! The hotel name says a lot about access for the disabled or poorly-abled. Please do not complain about the stairs! If you do you have not done your homework! If you complain about the view, you're blind! We were 10 days in Greece: 3 cities and the WOW moment out of all of them (including views of the Acropolis) was 20 steps from our taxi letting us off at the "entrance" to the hotel! Do yourself a favor and make sure you arrive during day time! There are some amazing workers for this hotel who earn their keep so please tip them! The 'bellboys' are hulking guys that carry your luggage down (& up) dozens if not 100 stairs! Let them do their job! The breakfast in bed guys do the same with your meal each morning! Special shout out to Spiros, behind the bar who was so incredibly hospitable! Ditto goes for the receptionist staff who was so helpful but the evening person (don't remember her name but she's going off to university in Wales in a few weeks) was especially awesome! The rooms are all different so see if you can get info/pictures about the interior of YOUR room! We had #15 & #16. Both were one "floor" below the pool/bar area. #15 was a traditional room all on one level but #16 was artistically amazing with the bed on a raised stone area and the bathroom was also up some stairs. Gave #16 to my 20-something kids who have better mobility than their 50-something parents! Balconies were the same and AWESOME!

Beautiful location, Stunning views. George on reception friendly and helpful. Bed very comfy and everything clean, bit of a musty smell in wardrobe. Expected a few more niceties in room eg drinks making facilities and tissues

Great little spot.

Lovely hotel and amazing view. The service was excellent, nothing was too much to ask, reception arranged all taxis, excursions, and restaurant reservations for us, and upgraded us to a suite. The breakfast was also great - good selection and delivered to your room balcony! The only thing I would say is that the photos of the room were better than the real thing... Our shower was quite small / awkward shaped and smelt when you turned it on, and apart from the fact it was cave-like, the room wasn't anything special really (also lacking some of the listed room facilities). The balcony with view does make up for it, but the parasol holes are fixed in completely the wrong spots (you only get shade for about 1-2hrs of the day). The greek salad at the poolbar is LUSH and the cocktails really good too (and not too expensive either)!!

Incredible views and friendly service

We had a fantastic stay! The hotel is right on the cliffs with amazing views. Love how each room has their own sun loungers. The daily room service breakfast was fresh and tasty, great selection! Very attentive and friendly staff.

Beautiful setting. Breathlessly stunning

Small, uncomfortable, loud.

Really not sure what all the good reviews are about on this one. We stayed in room 23, near the reception for 3 nights. We couldn't wait to check out. You can hear 100% of all foot traffic, voices from other rooms and walkways. The door had no deadbolt or lock from the inside. There was no peep hole either, and no way to put up a 'do not disturb' sign (the electronic switch was broken) - didn't feel very safe or private. The bed is very soft and lumpy. We slept terribly the entire stay. The lights from fire alarm and router are so bright that they light up your room during the night. The a/c gave me an upper respiratory cold since it blows right on top of the bed and probably hasn't been cleaned out. Additionally, the sinks and shower didn't drain. The towels were very tattered and old (similar comment made by another reviewer) - felt like sand paper. We expected the room to be small, but even with those expectations we were surprised. I used to live in NYC and this was still shockingly small to me. The pool area is unappealing and cramped. Not a place you'd hang out in. The staff was kind and helpful, but we really didn't ask too much of them to be honest. Nearby restaurants Anogi and Rare Meat are excellent.

We were upgraded to honeymoon suite with Jacuzzi! Excellent caldera view and services. Highly recommend!

Good sized room with a lovely bed and other facilities including a Nespresso pod machine. Stunning view of the Caldera from the balcony, but missing the sunset however there is a lovely little bar just a few minutes walk up the hill at the bell tower where you can go for the sunset (serving the best aperol!). Great service from all the team - big thumbs up for the guys who lug everything up and down all the steps! Handy location for walking to restaurants and nearby villages up and down the island (20min to Fira which has all the bus links, 2 hour stunning walk to Oia). Breakfasts were ample quantity and ok quality, served at a set time which you prebook each day before (note that time slots get booked quickly). Being built into the side of the rock the room was a little damp, which I suspect is a problem at most hotels here - a dehumidifier is in the room for this. If you struggle to sleep, note there are bright emergency and electrical panel lights in the room and noise from the fridge and water boiler.

UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE! Amazing staff!!! Amazing views! Amazing breakfast.

Nice view!! Nice hotel. Just be careful on steps, they are slippery. Breakfast is included, but quite small, make sure to order ton of food!

Very beautiful property. Great location and excellent value for money. The typical cave rooms are very pretty and the view is outstanding. The staff was super helpful, especially at the front desk. It was great to have breakfast on our room's balcony every morning with that view. Would definitely recommend this property.

Great for price and a great view.

Great small hotel, room 13 was very small but the view was great and the staff were very helpful especially carrying our 25kg luggage down all the stairs. We walked from hotel to oia would recommend it takes about 3hrs. And walk to Thira is about 30mins. Most of the hotels look the same same. If I was going again I’d stay in Oia as that’s where we spent most of our time and taxi is €30 each way.

Hotel Staff and Greeks in general very friendly and polite, Hotel was clean, comfortable and beautiful. Santorini is a Gorgeous and Magical Island, delicious food and awesome beer, I tried Alpha, Mythos and Fix..Airport is 15 minutes away from the Hotel. I will definitely go back..Thank you everyone very much!!!

Incredible view of the Caldera. The room has an spectacular view and the area is really nice. It is good to rent a car to move around the island

Beautiful property with amazingly nice staff! Views of the Calderon are incredible. The only knocks would be that the room was a bit small and there were a lot of steps since we got the room at the very bottom of the property.

Fantastic views from the room. Staff were great and very helpful. Would stay there again!

Beautiful stay

The view is amazing. The staff was great and the food and drinks were delicious

Absolutely Amazing! Perryangelo & Maria So Kind! Definitely will be back! Rooms were very clean and views were spectacular!

Sunsets

Stayed 4 nights here and loved every minute of it. Very friendly staff great location, amazing sunset views.

Oh yes indeedy.

Imagine your perfect picture of a Greek island and then improve upon it. This was On The Rocks Hotel in Santorini. Absolutely superb. Just be aware, there really are quite a few steps. It’s Just beautiful. We normally go out and do lots of trips, but we were so taken by the view from the terrace of our room, and each room has one, that we sat with jaws dropping looking at the view for hour after hour. Believe me we have travelled all over the world and it was quite stunning. Well worth every penny. By the way, the breakfast is absolutely awesome as are the staff. Going back next year. Tip; get back to the airport a little bit early, it’s a touch small for an awful lot of people and the systems creak a bit. Ask reception for help with local restaurants, we really love our food, make sure you go to Anoygi. Wonderful food, staggeringly good staff, really good prices. We both ate and drank our fill for €35 /head. Can’t wait for next year. Do the 3 beaches and volcano boat trip.

Amazing stay. Manager and staff was very helpful. Would go back again!

Santorini once in a lifetime experience.

Location was excellent. Washroom was pathetic ! Breakfast was good and has a lot of choices. In house dinning needs a lot of improvement. Room charges just justify location.

Best spot in Santorini

This hotel was fantastic. We spent four nights here and loved it. Nestled away from the cruise ship crowds of Fira and Oia it is the perfect spot for a relaxing trip. The pool bar is awesome, cocktails are divine and the view is out of this world. Stunning views of the sunset and a cool viewing spot up the hill just five minutes if you want to see it from a different location too. Just a few minutes walk from the Imerovigli bus stop where you can bus to Oia or Fira so still really handy for getting around. There are some great restaurants around there area too and it is about a 15 minute walk into the main Fira township or a 2 hour walk if you want to hike the trail to Oia which is a cool experience if you're up for it. The staff here were super friendly and helpful, there is literally nothing bad I can say about this hotel.

Great small village hotel

Settled in the middle of the island, On The Rocks was perfectly located for us. We enjoyed being away from the large crowds of Fira and Oia. It was a beautiful hotel and the rooms had the most amazing spectacular views. There were super markets and restaurants located on the square down from the hotel as well as a rental place. We took advantage of the ATVs to explore the island a little more. We also utilized the spa services which were great. Breakfast on your personal balcony was great for us as well as afternoon drinks on the sun deck. Overall, we’d walk the 126 steps down to our room every day if we could! Absolutely beautiful.

AMAZING view of the Caldera

This is a 5-star hotel first of all! Everything from the staff to food to amenities are top notch. We were upgraded to a nicer room with a killer view! I know we will definately return with friends and family next year. Some of our friends have already started looking into booking this for their next trip.

Incredible Hotel with a View to Die For!!!

Without a doubt this is the BEST value I’ve ever experienced at a hotel... what we got for the price was beyond our expectations. The customer service is incredible. The view is equally as incredible. I mean seriously, what other hotel allows you to write down what you want for breakfast served on your balcony the next morning at the time you want it delivered and it’s ALL included in the price?!?! We have already recommended this hotel to 2 other couples and we just left 36 hours ago

Gorgeous hotel RIGHT on the caldera.

We loved our stay. Wish it could have been longer. Great pool, service and view. We were welcomed into the hotel with complimentary wine and open arms! I'd definitely suggest this hotel to anyone who wants to see Greece. Imerovigili was incredible!

Amazing view

In an amazing quiet location on the island. Not as busy as Fira or Oia but the views are just as amazing if not better. Hotel itself has great staff, we stayed 9 nights as we just wanted a relaxing holiday and thats what we got. We rented a vehicle so we left to eat and adventure daily. It was great to start and finish the day daily in a relaxing hotel. (We also walked to Fira a couple times, its about 20 mins 1 direction) Sun loungers by the pool were always available. Pool is small but serves its purpose. Would definitely stay again and recommend

Heaven on Earth

Service was impeccable! Location was great! Bed was very comfortable. My only complaint would be the towels were a bit old and room had ants.

Gorgeous view with wonderful staff

We felt like royalty. Wonderful pool, breakfast, rooms, and view!

Wonderful place with a fabulous view

This hotel is beautiful and has great service. The view is breathtaking and the rooms are very clean. Staff is great and always at your service. We were accompanied to our suite and then offered some great wine as a welcome to the hotel. We loved our experience and our stay there. I strongly recommend it and would definitely go back for my next trip.!

GREAT STAY, STAFF EXCELLENT

Great hotel and staff are excellent. Had a few issues with the room that were swiftly rectified by the management and went above and beyond to make our stay brilliant. The manager is charming and did all he could to make sure we as guest were happy. 100% recommend.

The Dream Santorini Experience

This is the hotel people dream of staying at when visiting Santorini. The hotel oozes luxury with every room offering stunning views of the caldera. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and made us feel like VIPs throughout our stay.

Very Disappointing

The power went out in my dirty, windowless 'suite' and the air conditioning wasn't repaired for almost 24 hours in 100 degree weather. For my compensation, at 8:30 the night before I was leaving Santorini the hotel manager sent a letter offering me dinner from the snack bar but reminding me it was closing at 9:30p.

Beautiful hotel uncomfortable room& unhelpful staf

Beautiful hotel with breathtaking views. Expected more from staff who seemed bored at what they do! Upon arrival we were not received at the port, a communication issue , hotel didn't receive my confirmation! However when I spoke to them from the port , the only thing they said was we dont have you on the list, they didn't offer to solve the Issue or help in anyway. Our room was so small and too damp! bathroom was very tiny, moving in the room was almost impossible, shower water would flood the bathroom everytime we take a shower. Breakfast food served on the terrace was very good! Hotel grounds are continuously being maintained and kept very well.

Absolutely Amazing

From the moment we arrived this hotel was perfect. Staff were friendly and efficient, food was delicious and cocktails were fabulous. We loved the breakfasts each morning and our rooms were cleaned to an impeccable standard every day. Oh and the view was stunning!! We can't wait to return!!

Great Value!

Awesome location in Imerovigli, 15 minutes (via ATV) from Fira ("downtown") and about 25 from Oia, the "advertised" side of Santorini. 25 minutes from the airport, 30 from the port. The steps to get down to your room can be tough though but that's practically all of the places in Santorini. Included breakfast every AM delivered to your room. Every room has a patio. Right next to Sunbird car rental which had great deals on ATV, car, and scooter rentals. Walking distance to several restaurants and a convenience store. Service was great. Cleaning crews and waiters were on point. Messed up a couple times with our ordered breakfast but nothing crazy. Free WiFi and free 1L bottled water every day.

really nice experience

great friendly staff especially at the bar/restaurant. we loved the fact that you get breakfast in your room. each room has an individual terrace with beautiful sea view. the location is great, just opposite a supermarket and two very good restaurants.

Great Stay!

Beautiful location and great views. Loved the traditional feel of the cave and breakfast on the balcony every morning. Much quieter than Fira, but not too bad a walk so you get the best of both worlds. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Very good hotel

excellent hotel

Beutiful hotel, the staff is very helpful and friendly, the breakfast was very good. Great location, the views are amazing. The bus stop, grocery store & pharmacy are next to the hotel. Beatiful and clean room

Great location with amazing views

The room I stayed in had a fabulous view of the volcano and island. The staff were very helpful with all aspects and were extremely approachable. There is plenty to do at the hotel (small but lovely bar area with great atmosphere and views) and also loads of bars and restaurants nearby (only a 15 min walk from the "centre", Fira). Drinks and food at the restaurant is really good and well priced given the location of the hotel.

Amazing Caldera View Hotel

We had an amazing time staying at the On The Rocks Hotel in Santorini. The view from our terrace was breathtaking and the service throughout our 4 day stay was exceptional. Maria at the front desk was extremely helpful with making the most of our stay including helping with dinner recommendations and taxis. The property is intimate and quiet perfect for relaxing and the breakfast brought to your room each morning based on your selected time is a great touch to enhancing a truly memorable experience.

Amazing Santorini

I've just come back from staying at on the rocks hotel. Me and my husband went for one week for our wedding anniversary. Amazing location with amazing views.

Perfect view

Perfect view to the caldera. Lovely staff, they recomend us restaurants, things to do and how we can transport in the island. Perfect design taste on the furniture and architecture. Lovely view of the sunset.

Beautiful boutique hotel with gorgeous view

The only problem I had with this hotel was that the bathroom gets wet very easily because of the lack of a shower curtain. This may be diffferent if it was not a "standard" room that I booked. It also made the room a bit humid. However, air conditioning should help with that. Everything else was top notch and I would not hesitate to start here again.

It was an amazing hotel and meet all of my expectation.

do your homework

this place is beautiful, but please know what you are getting into before you get there. we went to spend sometime here on the recommendation of pals from school and boy did we find it to be a physical challenge. the place is carved into a mountain and thus its not all modern and luxurious in that way. the steps are all different sizes and you may struggle to get up and down to the pool and bar if you don't swing for the suites up top. Be in great shape or be confined to the room lol
