Always a pleasure to stay at On The Rocks. We were lucky in being able to get reservations this year. We love the seaside rooms, the décor, the friendly and helpful staff and the breakfast which can be eaten outside on the terrace. Excellent hiking and auto touring in the area.

Haymaker Liechtenstein

Quiet location, friendly staff and great views. The Booking.com price is better than the walk in price.

Jane United Kingdom

Wonderful location. Lovely staff Very good breakfast

Colette Ireland

Room was of adequate size, clean and basic but was fine for the cost. Air conditioning was good, breakfast was very reasonable and the staff were accommodating and very helpful. Location was good - only 5 minute walk to restaurants, bars and shops and 5 minutes more to the lovely sandy beach.

Colin United Kingdom

The most amazing view of any hotel in Paleochora. To sit outside in the evening with a drink in hand watching the mountains along the coast gradually darken must be one of the wonders of the world!

Richard United Kingdom

Sea view was amazing and hotel is located just 2 minutes from town center and all cafes, restaurants etc. No problems to park car on street in the from of hotel. Hotel administrator was very helpful and checked that we would be able to get back from Samaria George.

Gints Latvia

Everything - the view from the room, the breakfast, sitting on the terrace and the staff.

Richard United Kingdom

The hotel is situated in a quiet area, but only a short walk from the promenade and many bars and tavernas. The staff is excellent, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good - English / Continental / Greek with a variety of fresh fruit and pastries. It is possible to eat outside, on the terrace with a beautiful view of the sea and rocks ;-) Room newly renovated, bathroom clean, bed very comfortable, air conditioning and fridge worked fine. All of this deserves one more star :-)

Agnieszka Poland

Room was much larger than expected with a separate sitting room with extra balcony overlooking the sea. Breakfast was excellent with a patio area outside with great view. Staff very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Chris United Kingdom

Friendly, helpful staff. Good quality breakfast. Very clean and well cared for
