Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head

The staff was amazing! The complimentary wine every night was the best! The rooms and turn down service was exceptional! Thank you Lotus for all the extras! Beach service, Valet service, movies, cappacino maker, news paper, no hidden fees, bikes! Only to name a few. You guys are the greatest!

We loved the amenities at The Lotus.They offer free coffee in the lobby besides what you can make in your room, free newspaper delivered to your door, free bike useage with helmets and locks, free afternoon wine in the lobby and free in and out parking of your rental car! Oh! Also, they have free yoga every morning and usage of beach chairs and towels on the little private beach area. The staff are really nice and helpful with recommendations on places to try nearby. Uber is reasonable to various places.

We are very glad we skipped the big, crowded center of Waikiki and stayed at the peaceful boutique Lotus. It’s a great location- on the beach (short walk in between buildings to the ocean), next to a beautiful park, ocean and Diamond Head views, but away from the crazy crowds of Waikiki. It’s a nice 20 min walk when we wanted to get to Waikiki, but we preferred staying close to the hotel in the peace. The hotel is small - only 5 rooms per floor - and the staff friendly. They have amenities like wine at happy hour, coffee and tea in the morning, beach gear, bikes, water bottles, etc. we took advantage of the 7:30am yoga and loved it! One day the elevator was not working for a few hours so we had to walk up 11 flights to our room. Not a big deal for us, but there is only one elevator so if something goes wrong you’ll need to adjust. This may be the very first time this ever happened but I wanted to mention it because it may be important to someone. It did not affect my rating in anyway. The lobby is very nicely decorated. The rooms are attractive and serene and we loved our view. There is a resort fee of $25 per day (not a choice) so be prepared for that. It includes parking and all the beach amenities I mentioned so I think it’s worth it, and the hotel is reasonably priced. I know I’ll recommend this hotel to friends and family which is the best indication of how I feel about it.

The room was a great size, the bed and pillows were awesome (if you like firm beds and nice soft pillows). Ocean view was not a big wide view but a narrow viewing space but it was pretty. I am very afraid of his and couldn't go out into the balcony to enjoy the view but my husband liked it. Diamond Head was gorgeous!
