飯店整體很舒適,房間很寬敞,位置不是在Waikiki主要區域,也因為如此更為寧靜。

The property is situated a walk away from the main part of Waikiki which made the area much quieter yet still easily accessible. The views of Diamond Head from the balcony were beautiful. We could also see the water even though it wasn’t direct ocean front. We had free use of beach chairs and bikes which we utilized. Just a 5 minute drive to the base of Diamond Head gave us a fantastic view of the sunrise that even small tour buses seemed to use but there was plenty of room for everyone. A special shout out to Yoobi and Cody who were a pleasure to talk with and imparted some impactful tips on places to go and try for local cuisine. There is a restaurant on site but we never took advantage so I can’t review. We will definitely book our next stay here when we return to Oahu. As a side note, you must try Leonard’s malasadas. Even though the lineup is long, it moves quickly and they were warm, fresh and delicious!

The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the craziness of Waikiki Beach. We wanted a quieter areal and the location is directly across from an amazing park. The hotel’s beach was quiet and perfect. Having a beached seal was great to watch. The Lotus needs to replace its beach chairs. The hotel is somewhat dated but the staff is wonderful. Great quiet location, beautiful park, safe to walk day or night. Lovely experience.

The view at this property is stunning. When we arrived, the concierge checked us in, offered a welcome beverage and shared that they had downgraded our room. To make up for it, they waived the hotel fees roughly $35/day. My husband and I would have preferred a phone call in advance to share that our preferred room was not available which was kind of frustrating. Otherwise, the front desk greets you every time you enter the lobby. They have chairs and towels for the beach. The beach on site is pretty small, but Waikiki is a 15 minute walk. There are plenty of places nearby to walk and enjoy including the zoo, aquarium and restaurants. On site laundry is free and was much appreciated!

This property is exactly what we were looking for. A fair price and within walking distance to Waikiki. Fun perks like free wine hour each night, reusable water bottles, robes and slippers. The setting was nice with views of both Diamond Head and the ocean. We will definitely stay here again when we return!

Although the hotel website stated that self parking option was available, when we checked in,the parking attendant said only valet parking was all. The first room we were assigned smelled like a dirty locker room. The bathroom couiwas cracked and there holes in the upholstered chair. We were allowed to switch to another room which was tolerably less smelly. It seemed like the linens smelled of body odor. The bathroom sink drain smelled and the bathroom sink had a small crack. The restaurant in the hotel is closed on Monday and Tuesday. The hotel staff did not allow us a late check out of an hour and a half. That’s fine but they started badgering us 2 minutes after checkout time just as we were getting ready to leave. It take a while to get down to the lobby since they only have one small elevator which is shared by the maintenance staff.

Cute hotel. Would stay again.
A cute, small hotel. Close to the beach but you have to walk around to get to the sand. Room was good, bed was comfortable, view from the balcony of Diamondhead was beautiful. It was quiet and didn’t hear neighbours or anything in the surrounding area. Resort fee and parking fee are not cheap. I’m sure you could find Street parking but the valet was convenient. Have bikes you can use for free to ride to Waikiki, takes just a couple of minutes, it’s a pretty ride. It’s also an approximate 10 minute walk to get to the hustle and bustle. It’s nice that this hotel is away from the chaos and across from the park, a very active area with lots of people running and walking and exercising. I love it.

We had a great stay at the Lotus at Diamondhead the first week of October. Very convenient to check out beach chairs and towels at the front desk. The elevator was a bit slow but the staff was excellent. Our room was well kept every day. Great view of Diamondhead from our balcony. We would stay again and recommend to others.

I like this little hotel. Eat customer service and close to the strip, but far enough away to not get caught in the busy traffic. I didn’t like that the pricing posted with Expedia was incorrect from what I had to pay… parking was not free or included in the amenities fee. I ended up paying $40/day for parking and $20/day for amenities fee.

The Lotus is located at the Diamond Head end of Waikiki beach. It has a more laid back vibe than the fancier hotels at the other end. The staff was great. The views from the rooms were spectacular looking at the ocean and the mountain. Nice to have a balcony. The hotel has old world charm but it’s not fancy. There is only one elevator but there are only 5 rooms on each floor so it was not a problem. The room was comfortable and modern enough. No breakfast available which would have been nice to have. We walked about 15 minutes to a breakfast restaurant. The beach is crowded on the weekend but we enjoyed watching all the activity. We’d stay here again.

The Lotus at Diamond Head is absolutely wonderful. It’s at a premium location with spectacular views of Diamond Head and the ocean. It’s in a lovely area with a quiet neighborhood close to parks, aquarium and the zoo. Walking distance to Waikiki strip and local cafes and shopping make it convenient and away from all of the busy traffic. Most importantly, the rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is a five star rating for recommendations and accommodation to their guests. I will definitely book my next stay with them again.

Lack of a restaurant or food option was poor and not communicated prior. Think it is wrong to charge resort fees when there is no food and drink option at all
