the Quin

I just came back from a girls weekend in NYC and I am so happy that we chose the Quin. The Quin had great design and wonderful service. I have to say the best part of the hotel is the concierge, especially Chris. He really made our trip amazing by having us attend only the best and most fun events. He really went above and beyond to make sure the trip was everything and more. Thank you so much Quin and we can’t wait to be back.

Such a wonderfull hotel !!! I have spent a couple days there and every time Ive tried to go back again it is fully booked which says a lot. They also have one of the best and freshest bathing kits in New York.

Have you ever seen Home Alone where he goes into a 5 star hotel and opens up cabinets filled with candy and goods and booze? Well this is probably one of the best hotel stays of my life and for an unbeatable price.
Got a free upgrade to Junior Suite for only $ 249 for the night, the front desk was the most professional hotel employee I’ve ever met. The lobby is beautiful and decorated with custom art, Christmas trees and they had free champagne to taste before you went up to your room.
Stayed on a floor that had art work outside the elevator that was beautiful and our room even had a door bell. The room smelt clean, fresh, and was very spacious for a 5 star hotel in New York City. I’ll go quick since I could spend all day talking about this room. The bathroom was epic with a nightlight built into the mirror, the bed was Sferra and the most comfortable bed/​sheets I’ve ever stayed in. The blinds, mirrors, lights, can all be controlled bedside with the push of a button. We had a $ 50 flat screen TV, Nespresso machine that made some damn good espresso and the cabinets filled with candy, candy button, jars full of different nuts, etc.
For the price and location of this hotel this is truly 5 star, right in the middle of the action, near Central Park, quick walk to Rockefeller Plaza and more. I forgot my iPad in the room and they even shipped it right back to my house! Anytime I’m in NYC I will be sure to stay at the Quin. Also Free Wifi!

We were recommended this hotel by close friends who stayed there over the summer. We were very excited upon our arrival but unfortunately our entire experience fell very short of our high expectations. We are very seasoned travelers and definitely appreciate and expect great service and amenities especially when paying top dollar. Upon our arrival we were taken to out FIRST «premier» room which was a basic room with no seemingly special features in order to classify it as a premier room. Besides the room being extremely average, the hallway reeked of smoke to a point where I was nauseous. I called the front desk and voiced my concerns. The manager was very nice and told me he would be upgrading us free of charge to a much bigger and nicer room. It took 3 hours to finally get us moved (we actually were late to our dinner reservations because we were waiting and we had to meet our bags in the new room after dinner). We were extremely excited to see the new room but when we got there, it was the size of a shoe box. Significantly smaller than our previous room and extremely difficult to get around. There was feces on the side of the bed (pictured), the sheets were extremely rough and caused my husband to actually break out in a rash, and the blinds were falling off their hooks. We were supposed to stay an additional night but decided to switch to the Ritz Carlton because we could not take another night there. We really wanted to love the Quin due to the awesome location and recommendation but unfortunately we will not be back.

We stayed for 3 nights at the Quin hotel. It was good overall but:
1. The rooms were so tight
2. The towels were not up to a 5 star hotel standards, they didn’t look fresh at all.
The coffee machine in the room was a really good idea

An amazing and perfect wedding anniversary getaway at The Quin in NYC!
Upon our 1 pm arrival, we were greeted immediately with a warm welcomes. From the bellman, who quickly gathered our belongings, to a very professional staff at the front desk. Mirjana cheerily congratulated us on our 35^th anniversary and to our surprise upgraded us to a beautiful suite. Our luggage was immediately tagged and taken to our room. The check in was short and easy.
Our suite 907, where the living room and bedroom is separated and the bathroom equipped with bathtub and shower, were all very spacious and comfortable. The room was contemporary décor, clean, equipped with state of the art technology, plenty of bottled water, along with bath robes and slippers. The bed and bedding were extremely inviting and most importantly we had 2 wonderful, quiet nights of sleep. The Nespresso coffee/​espresso machine was an added morning treat. Delicious!
The location was unbeatable. Within steps of Central Park, Rockefeller Center and the subway, making it easy to get around the city quickly and easily.
The Concierge was fantastic. After initially booking our room we needed assistance with planning our itinerary for our three day stay. Erika did a fantastic job. She outlined options for each day of our stay, along with recommendations of places to eat and things to do in the areas we were interested in visiting. Once we decided, she finalized everything by making reservations, giving us directions, as well as informing us of the right subways to take. Everyone was very thorough making it very easy for us to get around.
When we arrived back at The Quin after our first day of excursions, we were surprised to find a nice bottle of chilled prosecco and chocolates in our room for us to celebrate – a very nice touch by the hotel team.
We didn’t get an opportunity to try the restaurant in the hotel.
We were also very thankful for the complimentary late check out!
My husband and I were extremely pleased we selected The Quin Hotel for our special occasion. We look forward to visiting again in the future. A big thank you to the whole team at The Quin for a memorable stay. I would highly recommend this hotel – all in all a great experience!

I rented a suite for my 20^th anniversary. It has the ingredients to be a great hotel, but it’s not there yet. This should be considered a beta test.
TLDR: Good food, good staff. Room had a bunch of gizmos that failed miserably, ruining the experience.
The Good:
The room is large (and by NY standards, it’s huge) and nicely decorated. The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is excellent. They have Dux beds in the room – probably one of the best hotel beds EVER. The price is competitive with the area.
The Bad:
If you’re going to do modern style and have electronic conveniences, the details will make or break it. This place has no attention to detail. The a/​c didn’t work when I came here (in their defense, they fixed it right away.) Turns out the auto closing curtains dump the plastic curtain over the top of the a/​c vent, causing the a/​c unit to freeze over. I figured out later that you have to close the curtain, then go over there, roll up the bottom by hand and shove it behind the vent, then stick something on top to make it stay there. More amusing than annoying.
The bathroom was elegantly decorated, with brass fixtures, backlit mirrors, and chrome. Unfortunately, they didn’t quite finish. There were exposed wires hanging from a bathroom mirror light (ruined the high tech effect), and they forgot to put the chrome caps on the handles, leaving ugly bolts showing. Again, minor mistakes, not a big deal.
Ok, the remote controlled light switches didn’t work. No problem, I’ll just use the wall switches… nope. I had to unplug lamps from the wall socket to get them to turn off. I get it, sometimes electronics can be funny.
The room’s heater was so loud that it was unusable. It sounded like an old diesel engine starting on a cold morning. Good thing that it was an ok temperature, so I didn’t need to leave it on.
The suite is on the 3^rd floor, and it’s NOISY. Not just the traffic, but there’s also construction next door (I wish they would have told me that, I wouldn’t have sprung extra for a street view.) Yes, I understand NYC is noisy, but a double window would have solved that problem. Nope. Not in this suite. Luckily, I can sleep through most anything. BTW, the street view that I paid for was partially obstructed by orange construction netting that kept flapping in the wind. It’s NYC, I can let that slide, too.
I decided to get a room service breakfast for me and the missus for the following morning. First, I get a knock on the door from housekeeping (I had the DND button activated. No biggie. Then the food came. It smelled good, but it wasn’t my order. I called and sent it back.
(FWIW, I did receive an apology for receiving the wrong order, but they didn’t comp it – incredibly tacky for an $ 80 breakfast for two.) I’m not a food douche, they actually sent the wrong food the first time, and then an incorrectly prepared order the second time. I didn’t have time to send it back, and it wasn’t that big a mess up the second time around (FWIW, the food they did send was excellent, with large portions.)
The Ugly:
The main one: the DO NOT DISTURB door buttons didn’t work. (They have a fancy pants DND button on the wall, that also controls lights in the room.) It took a few days into my trip to figure this one out. I got tired of being interrupted (I literally had 3 – 4 people ringing the bell to my room EVERY SINGLE DAY). I’m trying to have a romantic weekend, sleep in, etc, and people keep ringing the bell over and over!
Finally, one of the cleaning staff told me that my room’s DND sensor must be broken. I called engineering, who sent up some guy who couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I asked him to just put a sign on the door. Finally, after three days of constant interruptions, I can FINALLY sleep in. Nope. DING DONG. I’m annoyed at this point, answer the door to another engineer. I point to the sign and he said, «Oh, I didn’t know we used signs any more can I come in and…» I closed the door
The Weird:
I also received some calls from the front desk because a prior occupant left a charger in my room. Ok, it happens. I looked around, didn’t see it and let them know. An hour later, a bellhop rings the (do not disturb) bell. I wasn’t expecting anyone, I’m in a robe, and the wife is in the shower. He’s informing me that there’s a computer charger in the room, blah, blah, blah. I think he wanted to come in and look for it, right then and there. Did I mention I was in a robe and my wife was in the shower? I’M HERE ON MY ANNIVERSARY, GET OUT!
I finally found the stuff later that night (it was behind a TV) and called it in. A pleasant manager came to the room and explained that the prior occupant was one of THOSE clients, demanded a better suite, etc. I originally thought it was just a crazy client (we all have those), but I think I see her point.
Conclusion:
Come back when they’ve worked the kinks out of the system. In the meantime, I’d find some other place to stay.

LOVE this hotel. There’s nothing like a warm welcome at a hotel when you’ve been travelling all day. Even more, there’s truly nothing like a fresh fruit platter and an ice cold pitcher of fruit infused water in a deluxe, corner room upon arrival either.
Talk about service in a well located hotel in NYC! The Quin certainly lives up to it’s award by Travel + Leisure as «One of the coolest new hotels in the 9^th annual It List 2014».
Room Highlights: Luxury beds with the softest linens; Nespresso Machine to make the most delicious coffee; Very well maintained room and bathroom with Fresh bath amenities; 24 hour room service provided by a 5 star restaurant, The Wayfarer. The food is amazing and the rooms are cozy which make it a great place to use as your home base when visiting the city.
I won’t stay anywhere else when I return to NYC!

Love love this hotel! The customer service was really nice and friendly. I just love how the hotel is really artsy and chic. The paintings at the hotel are amazing. Our room was pretty big especially for a hotel in NYC. Don’t get me started on the king size bed with the fluffy down comforters. It was so comfy I slept like a baby. The bathroom is gorgeous and it comes with complimentary bathrobes, indoor slippers, and Fresh products :) I also love how the bathroom has a succulent in the shower. We will
Be coming back next time we are in NY.

IMO awesome location at good value. room was well maintained, and we are very appreciative of your staff’s effort to make the occasion special for us.
Thank you for giving us a memorable honeymoon experience. :) we will return the next time we are back for holidays

The hype around the Quin is everywhere. As a result my expectations were set pretty high.
The hotel is small and I personally prefer that. We were on the move while in NYC and having a conveniently located hotel with easy access to our room was wonderful. However service was nearly non existent. Having stayed in a few other 5 star places I have something to compare to and this experience didn’t measure up.
We used UBer a few times and while I don’t expect the door man to recognize that a car parked in front of the hotel is automatically a guest, I do expect that I’d be consistently greeted and have the door opened for me. This didn’t happen.
While the room was very nice, details weren’t taken care of. The lamp fixtures were askew, the shower head nozzles needed to be cleaned, I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the desk lamp to save my life. Some of the items listed on the mini bar menu weren’t stocked, etc.
Overall, I didn’t leave there feeling valued as a guest. We also stayed at the W Hoboken and the Marriott Marquis during our trip. Honestly out of the three hotels, we were treated the best at the W.

Excellent experience, I mean excellent.
Room was extremely clean and maintained very well, staff was extremely friendly and hotel was spotless.
They seem to take an extra step others do not. One morning I was running late. upon returning to the room, it was spotless and room service went to so far as to neatly organize my razor blade, cologne, ect by the sink (which I left rather hastily unorganized due to a morning rush). This impressed me as they even look after the little things!
The room was very comfortable, electronic controls for the lights + shades plus felt a bit luxurious.
Bathroom and shower were spotless and very comfortable, definitely not low end grunge.
Downstairs a great place to eat and socialize. again with more friendly service.
Close to the subway and only two blocks or so south of Central Park.
Front desk and doormen were stellar and extremely helpful.
I left with a very fond experience and enjoyed my stay very much.

My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our stay at The Quin, and we will most definitely stay here the next time we are in NYC.
The attachés, who reach out several weeks ahead of arrival, are incredibly helpful. Especially, Erica who was arranged dinner reservations, theater tickets, champagne and chocolates upon our arrival, and, perhaps the most impressing thing, she somehow greeted us by name each day as we came and went from the hotel.
The rooms are comfortably sized with a king-​sized bed, sofa, side tables, dresser, and a small desk. The bed is very comfortable, with soft pillows, down comforter, and pillow-​topped mattress. The bathrooms are nice and functional. The rain shower was great. The Fresh brands soaps and shampoos are an excellent touch.
The service is impeccable. Our room was always spotless. Each morning the room was cleaned and straightened. Each night it was turned down and prepped for our return. Most importantly, we had absolutely no concern for our belongings; nothing ever seemed handled or touched, something we’ve, unfortunately experienced at other upscale hotels.
If you’ve read this far, thanks and congratulations. In sum, book at the The Quin without hesitation or concern. I would.

High quality, even for NYC. This hotel has amazing service and beautiful rooms. We went for my birthday weekend and it was wonderful. They made the room up with decorations and a cake. It was quite spectacular.
The view of the corner suite was very nice; Looked over 6^th and 57^th. The room was freshened up at least two times per day. They refilled the complimentary waters as well.
Can’t say enough good from the doorman to the complimentary toiletries (replaced for almost every shower)
Thank you Quin for a fabulous birthday experience.

The Quin was great — all the way from the booking until departing. They helped me plan a birthday surprise for my fiancé before even arriving to New York, I just had to send a little package with some decorations and they had it all set up in the room along with a little birthday cake that was absolutely delicious! They were very accommodating throughout it all and responded very quickly via emails!
Upon arriving, staff was very friendly. Small lobby but very neat and comfortable. We were there during the off season so we walked run up to the counter and there was no wait. We upgraded to a corner suite and it was well worth it. We faced the corner of 6^th and 57^th and there was so much to see even from the 6^th floor.
The hotel was recently renovated and the rooms were all very up-​to-​date. We had a king bed, very comfortable. The rooms also have the blackout shades along with the sheer shade so you can sleep in without the sun waking you up. The room was a decent size for New York. The location of the hotel was the best part — 2 blocks from Central Park, 1 block from the start of 5^th Avenue shopping, 10 minute walk to Time Square, and the entrance to the subway is right outside the hotel door.
Room service refreshed the room several times a day with complimentary water bottles (which you don’t find that often), coffee pods for the Nespresso machine, and refreshed the bathroom and bed each time. They also have a fitness room on the second floor — didn’t utilize but looked decent when the elevator opened on that floor.
Concierge was good — willing to look up stuff when you had questions if they didn’t already know the answer.
Overall it was a great experience and would come back again for the price and GREAT location/​service!

Superbe hôtel ultra bien situé à l’angle de la 57^th West et 6^th, juste au sud de Central Park (vous y êtes en 5 min avec attente au feu rouge!). Parfait pour visiter tout Manhattan. Vous avez 3 – 4 lignes de métro juste à côté et dont celle pour venir de l’aéroport.
J’ai testé la chambre lit Queen size qui est de taille très correct pour NY. Le lit est ultra confortable, la salle de bains est très fonctionnelle, la vue est très new yorkaise… Immeuble en brique et rue passante mais le double vitrage aide à bien dormir! :)
Le personnel est très gentil et très discret. A votre arrivée, une bouteille d’eau vous est offerte et/​ou chocolat chaud quand dehors il fait très froid! Dans la chambre, Nespresso a disposition mais pas de thé, dommage!
Nous n’avons pas testé le petit déj préférant goûter les bagels, omelette et oatmeal des deli’s!
Je conseille vivement cet hôtel pour un séjour chic à New York City!

I had a lovely stay here in mid December while I was in NY for a conference. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The ambiance is modern, beautiful. Definitely got a boutique, intimate feel when you arrive to the lobby.
On arrival, I noticed apple cider and hot chocolate offerings in the lobby. Then, I got to my room which was a premier room with a king size bed. It was fairly large for NY standards. There was a lot of high tech options in the room. There was also a Nespresso machine in the room. The bath products were great… natural ingredients and smelled nice. Lastly, I was impressed with the free cider martins available in the evening… happy hour!
I only have two minor complaints and they are likely due to the time of year I was there. First, I had to wait at least 5 minutes or more every time I wanted to go down the elevator no matter what hour. Secondly, the hotel was not able to flag down a cab for me on Sunday night. Just for the record, Über was 1.6x the normal rate that time. It was a hectic night in the city.
Overall I thought this was the best hotel in NY I have stayed at in terms of a room quality and friendly staff. Also I got a great price on this hotel via cybermonday deals for the hotel. Definitely recommend this hotel to others!

I stayed at the Quin in September for three nights and absolutely loved it. The amazing location alone warrants 5 stars, but it’s also one of the nicest hotels that I’ve visited throughout the world.
Awesome front desk service as was everyone else on staff I dealt with. I wrote a separate review of the excellent adjoining restaurant, the Wayfarer.
Super comfortable bed and a sweet little tablet device to control the lights, blinds, music, etc. (see pics) The shower is exquisite with an interesting ledge that with the right traveling companion and a little imagination could be quite memorable. (See bathroom pics)
Whether you’re a bon vivant or just a business traveller with a generous budget, the Quin is the place to stay in Manhattan. Hope to see you next year!

The Quin is a lovely little hotel at the intersection of 57^th and 6^th. I stayed here with my mom during a trip last month, and thought it was pretty great. She got a deal through Jetsetter (or some analogous site), but I think the room was still expensive. I gather, though, that New York hotel prices are generally out of control.
My mom has achey feet and an achey back and is sensitive to bad mattresses and things of that sort. She probably commented on how much she loved the Quin bed like ten times during our four-​day trip. It was a really comfortable bed, with a good mattress and apparently top notch bedding. I’m less attuned to small variations in hotel bed quality, but I trust my mom’s judgment. Bring all your Korean moms here.
The room wasn’t big, but it was charming and cozy. Shower was great, and we had free wifi. The lobby was very pretty, and there was a lot of attentive staff for the size of the hotel.
I don’t usually stay in hotels in New York, so I’d be surprised if I made it back to the Quin. Still, I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a luxurious stay in the area. It’s a pleasant place, and you’ll probably sleep well.

Right off the 57^th & 6^th corner, just away from across from Carnegie Hall, Russian Tea Room, and Rue 57.
Old charm of building on outside very fresh on the inside. Sparse space in lobby but nice art books to look at and tea & cookies for while you peruse them. (Guests only) rooms are functional but comfortable with a touch of class & individuality/​character (art/​mini contents/​see below)
In room:
Nespresso
Fresh bath products
Efficient, clean, soothing bathroom, small but neutral colors and rain shower with wand
2 queen beds (our choice/​other options probs)
Tablet on bedside that controls the lights, air, etc
Buddies with Bergdorf — in room BG shopping
Yummy provisions fridge and local goods in gifts and fun spluges in room cabinet
Robes (ok. If you’re a robe geek bring yours)
Artist designed screensaver /​umbrella/​hall work (nice!!!)
Great lobby art coffee table books. Could spend a few hours there
Lobby tea/​coffee biscotti & computers — full wall Blek the Rat
Elevators slow n wonky
Pro tips:
Dim the tablet that thing is bright at night
Not Super:
Loud heater/​hard to get room temp right
Bathroom echoey for quiet morn if someone sleeping
Needs more hooks in bathroom (robe takes the 1)
Very nice very new– wonder what it will be like in 9 more months. RECOMMEND.

A few of my favorite things:
Proximity to Central Park (a block away)
Extremely comfortable bed (close to $ 6k Dux bed)
Beautiful shower
Tablet that controls the shades, lights, music, etc.
Fresh brand products
Comfortable bathrobes
Loved the sheets on the bed
Proximity to: Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Museum of Modern Art, and Fifth Avenue
In addition, the staff were very attentive and professional. Several staff checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
I think this should be a top pick if you are looking for a hotel in NYC in the $ 500+ range.
