Great spacious room with fantastic view over the water.
The taxi could not get to the hotel due to pedestrian only area and the rooms are on top of a hill with about 50 steps up.
We didn’t realise to go to the main hotel reception which is a quarter of the way up the hill to register where we would have had help with luggage.
The rooms are situated in a fantastic location for Skiathos town night life. Five minute walk and you can get a drink and food but so many great restaurants and bars close by it’s worth a walk around to see what you fancy.
Lovely modern apartment in good location. Slight smell of drains some nights but that is probably because it is in the old part of town. 2 minutes walk to the old town. Beautiful view, however the sun left the terrace mid afternoon.
Staff was very friendly and view from our small but clean, comfortable room was amazing! The downside is that you have to haul your luggage up an old stone walkway and staircase to check in at The Water hotel. Unfortunately, our bags were 50 lbs (23kg) each. Luckily, a staffer offered to take them the rest of the way to our room at The Rock, which is more old stone stairs up to an old stone walkway away. There are no elevators. Thank goodness for Alberto!
Lovely stay, the view is amazing, over the bay. Beautiful location and the room was cleaned each day. Only thing to point out is tgat the hotel is up a long bank of steps which might be a concern for less mobile people but overall,I would recommend this location. Idea for the local harbour side restaurants
A really wonderful stay in Skiathos. Owner helped us with bags and arranged taxi transport. Room was beautiful with a terrace and spectacular view. Very comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Would stay again!
Dimitris the owner went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. We had the penthouse room and a beautiful view of skiathos and the port area as well as the sea
Great views. Very clean and comfortable. Be aware that if you have any mobility issues that the roadway leading to The Rock, from next to Gin Fish Bar, has a flight of wide steps to navigate. Overall a perfect location for our stay on Skiathos.
Dmitris, the manager, was very helpful. The view from the hotel is amazing. Only problem is taking luggage from port to hotel but Dmitris helped carry it upstairs. Great service, hotels, port, bus & shopping places right there.
The Rock was a beautiful hotel with amazing views and in a perfect location in town. It was quiet and peaceful and the staff were so so helpful bringing our luggage up the stairs when we arrived. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you so much!!!!
We had a great room with a sea view in the Rock. It is at the quiet end of the port area with a lovely local bakery walkable. No amenities in the building as it’s like a nice apartment block but everything we needed in our room and very tasteful decor.
The room was lovely, however the patio door was broken, but this was fixed straight away. The location is lovely but at the top of some very steep steps, so not so good if you are less mobile. Our room was next to the main door of the building and could be noisy at night with people coming in and out. Overall it was an enjoyable stay.
The staff was very helpful. Demetrios went above and beyond what we expected. Steep steps would not be ideal for everyone. My bad knees and age in my 70's was still able to do it. The Rock is a place I would recommend. View on the balcony was special.
Oh my gosh, the view is simply stunning! An amazing balcony in the penthouse with views over skiathos and the port. Dimitiris was super helpful and carried our bags up to the property, quiet a few steps but that how you get the best views! Many thanks for a wonderful (too short!) stay!
Wow! We stayed in The Suite at The Rock for a week and had a fabulous time. The room is very comfortable with probably the best bathroom I’ve ever had in Greece, but the highlight is the huge terrace and most amazing view of the sea, The Plakes and The Bourtzi. The only thing that could make this room even better would be some sun beds on the terrace then it would be perfect.
The staff at the Rock were very helpful and I could store my bag in the reception while being on a boat cruise after check out. Note that the reception is at ”the Water” which has the same owners. ”The Rock” i brand new as of mid July 2023. The view is spectacular. Highly recommended!
