The people working at the hotel were very friendly and available. They answered our questions and were available to loan us beach chairs, towels, good restaruants, and advice. The hotel was convenient for beaches, and places to eat. We were able to walk to both. The hotel gave us two free small gifts of snacks.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were very disappointed. When checking in we were actually downgraded from the king bed room that had been arranged to a room with two double beds. The next day we were moved to a king bed room but were required to check out by noon and not allowed to check back in until 4;00 PM, so we did not have a room the afternoon of the second day even though we had paid for a six night continuous stay, very disruptive to our plans. The staff was quite unsympathetic. When we checked out we wished to discuss our disappointment with a manager who was not available and we never received a call or email from management despite a promise from front desk staff that "Brandon" would contact us. The so called VIP upgrade was a bottle of wine and two glasses of juice. The hotel is old and worn out. The room smelled like mold. Very few dining options in the area. Restaurant at the hotel is expensive and only open for dinner. We recommend avoiding this tired, smelly, rude hotel.

Absolutely perfect! Away from hustle n bustle. Close access to quiet and beautiful beaches and everyone who we had pleasure of meeting at tbe Lotus (yoobi/ Anne/ Mervin & Rhiana ) were so incredibly helpful and nice. Room and views to beach/ Diamond Head were gorgeous! We will be back :)

Unfortunately due to flight cancellation in Australia we were at this hotel only from 9:30 am until 3 pm. We are very appreciative of the extra hours allowed by the manager. It was a beautiful hotel right by the beach but we were not able to avail ourselves of what it had to offer!

The property is conveniently located to all of the dining in the shopping at Waikiki Beach. The room was spacious and Well appointed. The bedding and pillows were really comfortable. I only call was not being white on the beach as it made. It appear in the pictures. There are two buildings between the hotel and the ocean, so your view is limited. Also, you need to walk about 100 yards down a path to get to the beach.

We were pleasantly surprised how nice the room was. We basically had views from our front door to our balcony. The location is far enough from Waikīkī it’s not caught up in the crowds and close enough for us to walk to. This hotel does not have a pool, but with all the beaches around I don’t think we missed it. We did have a rental car and that made getting around the island. If you want to just stay in Honolulu you can get by without a car. Definitely will stay here again.

Recently stayed at the Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head and was disappointed with my stay. Was really excited to stay near the beach but away from the crowds of Waikiki so if this also suits you, location is good. We also wanted to hike Diamond head so this location was perfect for this reason. The room was nice and rooms are clean. It is a boutique hotel and it has this vibe. Our first night an alarm/beeping kept going off in the hall it was extremely loud and kept us up all night. When I brought this up to the front staff it was barely acknowledge. Our main issue was one morning while in the bathroom the light fixture fell off the wall and almost hit one of us in the head (inches away). I understand that things happen but when I brought this up to the front desk they did not seem concern and just mentioned it would be fixed during the day. I spoke to another employee at reception later that day and they confirmed it was fixed, no big apology nor any small compensation or even a free drink was giving for the inconvenience. I found this very unprofessional for a 4 star hotel since safety of guests was involved. The hotel has good amenities but I find they are investing in aesthetic extras and not the core necessities of a hotel. I do want to mention that the restaurant and bar staff, service and food are all amazing. I find what is lacking is the service at reception that would usually be associated with a 3 or 4 star hotel.
