Lovely boutique hotel
Pros:

Beautiful property, very friendly staff. The roof top bar was great and nice restaurant bar- although I did not eat there. Valet made sure to have my car parked up close for early morning departure.

Cons:

I think the bed was hard and not very comfortable
Same with pillow, too thick

Hotel has potential if managed correctly.
Pros:

The Quoin is very centrally located in Wilmington. We enjoyed utilizing valet parking.

Cons:

Though advertising a rooftop bar, lobby bar and a speakeasy basement bar, only one was open the evening we stayed. We planned to have cocktails after the concert we attended. When we arrived after our concert and were told that the speakeasy required prior reservations and it operated on a “one in, one out” basis even though half of the bar was empty. We had to complain to the front desk to be seated. In the 45 minutes we were in the bar, there was always plenty of empty seating. After being seated neither of the drinks ordered were available! The waitress told us that one beverage, Baileys, was available upstairs in the closed bar but could not be retrieved for service downstairs. This was on St. Patrick’s Day weekend!

Beautiful hotel
Pros:

Huge room, beautiful design, and lovely rooftop and speakeasy bars. There is no breakfast at the hotel except for some complimentary pastries and coffee in the lobby, which is nice, but there are some cafe options within easy walking distance.

Not a 4 star hotel
Pros:

Horrible hotel all around, valet workers argued in front of me, Front desk bad, rooms not good, and not very clean. Didn’t have room service on Christmas Day. This is more like a 3 star hotel at best

Style over Substance
Pros:

Overall, we wanted to love the experience - we booked a suite which was comfortable and spacious. But overall, left the experience with form over substance as our conclusion. The hotel and rooms are beautiful and represent lots of attention to quality. But real world implementation was highly lacking. In the room, there are far too few plugs/USB ports. Only one side table had a single accessable plug and the other had no options. For a brand new hotel at this price point, this is totally unacceptable. The large light by the chair had no switch or controls and the only way to turn it off was to unplug it.

The bed was very comfortable but the pillows were overly fluffy and left a crinck in my neck. I eventually switched to one of the smaller pillows provided.

The inroom bar was beautiful but how are you supposed to make a cocktail with the half-bottles of spiritis with nothing that can shake or stir? One tonic for a 375mL of gin? Bathroom lacks many places to hang things - an additional hook or two would have helped. We are especially sadened by the lack of a door stop - the beautiful tile will get cracked because even the softest pressure results in the handle on the bathroom door making a loud smack against the wall. Despite having a very sophisticated WaterWorks system, the water basically only went from too hot to scalding making the shower almost unusable.

On Saturday, I was excited to go down and get coffee and pasteries as noted on the instructions since there was literally nothing else as an option for the hotel. At 9:30am, there was coffee but pastries were all gone. The coffee cups had no lids or holders to insulate from the hot coffee. A key amenity that we had planned on was effectively unavailable.

We used the valet - we were impressed, initially by the web-based system for asking for the car and tipping. Like everything, it was smoke and mirrors. We asked for our car on Saturday AM (in time for the required check out) and nothing happened - not alert to call the front desk. The front desk called right at 11am to see if we were leaving and I mentioned we were still waiting for our car. You apparently have to call the front desk for that. So 35 minutes after we initially asked for ther car did it arrive and it was covered head to toe in ice from the ice storm the night before. Not what I would expect for a $45 valet service or a hotel at this price point - one would expect a covered lot and a clear plan to get cars at checkout time.

Lastly, the staff were nice and hardworking but not super welcoming at the front desk. We asked about adding our SLH or Hilton number and given a complicated explanation as to why she couldn't do it (a quick call to Hilton took care of it from the room). On leaving, no one asked how our stay was or thanked us before we left.

In the end, while a beautiful hotel in a good location, they need to work on details. Without these small details, this is just an overpriced hotel that looks good on Instagram but disappoints.

Boutique Beauty in Wilmington
Pros:

Excellent experience at the Quoin. Great little boutique hotel with friendly and professional service. Large room, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Front desk staff, like David were very helpful with local info.
Quoin restaurant had great service (Alaysha, our server, top notch), and very creative and delicious menu. Would recommend this to anyone traveling to Wilmington, DE.

Not the experience we hoped for
Pros:

Given a hotel at this price point in Wilmington, I’m bewildered by the 5 star reviews. On the plus side, it is a pretty property, the rooms are large, and the bed is comfortable. I found the decor in the rooms somewhat cold, the in room bar options were nice but pricey, there was only 1 towel bar in a spacious bathroom, and the oversized shower had only one shower head and no bench or bar which are standard in most luxury hotels. For this type of hotel, the complimentary morning offerings were weak. Both the indoor bar and rooftop bar were rented out for private events so we couldn’t enjoy them. There was a wedding that went almost til midnight and our room was noisy because of it. The staff were nice but not overly accommodating; I expected more given the bar closures and noise that they should have known our room would experience.

Nice hotel, amazing staff
Pros:

Great hotel, but what makes it exceptional is the staff. From cleaning to front desk everyone is friendly with a smile and just trying to help.

Special shout out to Danielle on front desk and the restaurant who is full of useful tips about the city and area and just wants to help you enjoy your time. Makes the stay so much more enjoyable.

Dutch at the bar is great too.

All in all, great hotel but superb personnel.

I’d go back any time.

Where Wilmington Shows Its Soul
Pros:

The Quoin isn’t just a hotel—it’s a crash course in the soul of Wilmington. From jump, the vibe was different. The West African desk manager made sure I felt at home and even reminded me not to miss the Philly game (respect). I posted up at the rooftop bar, where Zoe and Lenya weren’t just pouring drinks—they were dropping gems about art, fashion, the wild/delusional minds of creators, and the future of OT. That’s more than service, that’s culture. It's people.

Everything was polished, posh, and on point, but the real gift was how much I walked away knowing Wilmington better. This spot doesn’t just give you a room—it gives you a part of the city. If you want more than just a stay, go there.

An exceptional experience
Pros:

What an extraordinary hotel experience. From the moment I arrived and was greeted by the valet, through to the seamless check-out, the entire team delivered a level of warmth and attentiveness that truly embodies the lost art of hospitality. Every aspect of my stay this past Labor Day Weekend — from the restaurants and bars to the services and ambiance — was thoughtfully curated and added to an unforgettable visit. The staff anticipated my needs, offered excellent recommendations for excursions, and assisted with travel arrangements, making everything effortless. Guests of all ages were enjoying the property, which speaks to its inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend the Quoin Hotel to anyone visiting the Delaware area.
