Isla Brown Corinthia Resort & Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton

This is the best hotel in Athens!!! The hotel is so beautiful the rooms and the view are crazy. The crew is so kindly and we will come back for sure!

Physically a very nice, beautiful hotel in a great seaside location. Nice grounds. Nice rooms. Nice bar. Nice restaurant. All physically very nice. That’s about it for its good qualities. Not impressed with their reception or restaurant staff (one waitress at the outside bar (Joanna) & a valet (Dimitrius) were the ONLY really helpful & proactive staff members - they were both great). When we got there the reception desk was not well manned so had to wait a bit. When I finally got to the desk he had a hard time finding my PAPER reservation and answered the phone twice while “assisting” me. Finally said our room was ready. When told the assigned room I asked if it was a Sea View (as I had reserved). No, it was not. They “kindly” upgraded us to a suite (although, as a Diamond member, probably should have done that anyway) since apparently they had given away all the Sea View rooms. But were told the new room wasn’t ready. It is now 30 minutes past regular checkin time (we arrived about 2.5 hours ago) and still no word. Went back to reception - hmmm, the room is now ready (for how long?). Never had this problem at a Hilton Family hotel in the past (in any country!). And this is supposed to be resort (Curio) level. To continue: asked for a blanket when we got to the room. One hour later, called again. Left the room @ 1 hour and 40 minutes. No blanket. Absolutely no hotel information in the room. No phone numbers to contact the restaurant for reservations. Room service (supposedly) but no menu or number for them. No information about the business center, fitness center, …. Nothing. Went to reception, they had to print out new sheets with all the numbers and times, etc. Still no room service menu or way to access one. Told to go to the bar to get one. No map of the resort with locations for things like gym, spa, which restaurant is which, …. No signs showing where you are or arrows pointing the direction to different parts of the property. A lot of staff around the main restaurant just standing and talking with each other. No offer to help as I went in. The restaurant for dinner was a buffet. No problem. No mention of how we get a table, how to get drinks, that it was just a “pick a table & start getting food as you walk in” situation. Had to track down a staff member to ask. Rooftop bar open 1600-0030. No so much. Went up around 2030 for a nightcap. Nobody to be found and bar completely unstocked. If you want decaffeinated coffee of any type good luck. It’s been a 50/50 proposition either day or time of day or location in the resort or particular staff member you ask. All that said, the outside pool/seaside bar is very nice, as is the staff, w/ very good food. This could be a phenomenal hotel if they get their act together. They have all the right parts. Just the wrong (or very untrained & unmotivated) staff. There looked to be a very small company retreat ~30 people) of some sort so maybe they were just “overwhelmed”. Of course, if you

Thank you George from restaurant!All the team is so helpful and Markus and Fotene !!!!! for...We had amazing time!!everything

The best hotel ever! Room is spacious and view is breathtaking!! Service here is beyond any expectation! Staff are friendly and always willing to help! Thanks to George, Panos, Maria, Costas, fotene, Aggeliki and the general manager elena! Thank you and sea you next time!

Hotel made by Israelis for young Israelis. Very loud Israeli (only) music. Dirty pool. Long waiting for beach towels. Security personnel all around the place. It makes you feel insecure. Neighbours can be VERY noisy for hours (after midnight). If you want to relax, DO NOT visit this hotel. Not what one would expect from a 5 star hotel. Helpful and friendly staff. Very nice building. Impresive sea view from the rooms with sea view. Very good breakfast.

Checked in after 7:30 pm and the hotel was quite busy on a Saturday night. We were only here one night so I cannot speak to much of the amenities on offer at the hotel. We were in a direct sea view room and it was small. I wouldn’t want to stay longer than 1 night. Everything was clean, wi fi worked very well along with the A/C. It was Greek night so we had dinner at the ala carte restaurant with excellent live music. Dinner was very enjoyable. Breakfast the next morning was amazing! What an array of choices. We appreciated the complimentary bottle of wine in the room and complimentary cocktails on the rooftop. The rooftop is very unique with chairs sitting in shallow water on the roof. The remaining chairs are on dry land - no wet feet LOL. Cocktails were great! The next morning we went to shower and we had a broken faucet. Called reception and they said maintenance would up right away. To our surprise he was!! Never do you call with a maintenance problem and someone shows up right away. He said he would fix it in 5 minutes and it was!! Impressive service!! We had a great one night and would choose the hotel again without hesitation. Maybe next time for longer. Only small complaint would be the parking in a dirt lot and almost full. Maybe a paved parking lot would be a great addition to the hotel.

Missed opportunity, nicely renovated ,but either grossly under-stuffed or have no clue how to run a hotel . Stuff was very polite but not effective , Music was playing all day & night either from the hotel l or the beach bars right next to the hotel . Was always too loud for the occasion and wrong theme music . Roof garden bar ( adults only ) was poorly decorated and there were families with young children playing . The spa was ok . Food was average but eatable . The beach was nice , towels were always in shortage and small for the beach beds .Not a five star hotel .Left more tired than I arrived.

You can't polish a 7urd but you can roll it in glitter. Thats exactly what these people have done. The poor staff, running around like headless chickens under constant threat of disciplinary action from a seemingly non existent, clueless management. If you lose something in your room, as we did, it won't turn up, even though we were assured they had retrieved the item, somehow it got "lost". The music? OMG they only have 1 CD and it's so loud and on repeat all day. The juxtaposition of music emanating from at least three bars next door goes on until 3am at weekends. This is not Magaluf. The assumption that if you build something that looks cool, it will be cool is quite astonishingly wrong. This is a 4 star hotel. nothing more. In fact I'll go so far as to say I hate the place. it's a dystopian nightmare. 6 emails remain unanswered in regard to our "missing" item. 6!!!!

This is not a 5 star hotel. Do not expect the service of a 5 star. My family and I stayed here for 4 nights, paying for 4 rooms. Upon arrival we had a really nice greeting from a member of the concierge. Sadly, we did not have a proper explanation of where and how everything worked. The first meal we had wasn’t the best, maybe we didn’t order the right things. Service is terribly poor, the staff promise that they will come and take your order. They don’t. They seem to disappear all the time. On the roof terrace, when there was a party of the rooftop, there was 1 staff member, who it took ages to order a beer from. The food is fairly good but it is the same kind of ingredients in each dish every night. The fire alarm goes off every odd day, it went off at 11:30pm with elderly guest running down, whilst some just looking over their balconies seeming like it was a reoccurring thing. Extremely terrifying especially that there are wild fires near by. Towels were a really annoying issue, being a 5 star, on our first day we were told they did not have any towels to give to us. We eventually, for them after 4 hours. The elevators, they didn’t work. On a constant, out of the 4 elevators that they had, 2 didn’t work. The staff used the same elevators as the guests, carrying trash bags that leaked and stunk up the elavators. The gym wasn’t open, even though it was supposed to be open at 24/7. I had to eventually ask a fellow guest to unlock it. The cleaning of the rooms, felt like I had simply thrown my duvet over the bed. No condiments like coffee was put back after I had used it the first day. The staff were very kind though. On a positive note, the hotel is new and modern just seems nothing works. If you want something that works download some Netflix to numb the pain, the Wi-Fi is crazy fast.
