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.

Everything was just perfect. I didn't expect to get such a beautiful room. My husband and I stayed in room 721 and we absolutely loved it! I even thought about purchasing their soft bathrobes. The room is spacious and it has 2 balconies with amazing views. I would definitely come back there again. Their staff is friendly and helpful.

Excellent location,short walk from Waikiki. All staff are very helpful and friendly and the onsite restaurant is amazing. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, big shout out to house keeping! Compared to the built up area of central Waikiki this hotel was by far the better choice with quick access to a beautiful beach and fantastic views of Diamond Head. We will be coming back.

I regret to say that my experience with this hotel was disappointing. I had informed them in advance that I would be checking in late, but it seems my room was given away, assuming I wouldn't arrive. When I arrived, there was no one at the front desk for about 30 minutes. Despite calling and knocking on the door, I received no response. After a long flight, this was incredibly frustrating. When the front desk clerk finally arrived, he seemed to blame me for the delay and was quite rude. He even threw the check-in paperwork at me and made a comment about “Californians being so impatient,” which felt unfair, considering I had waited at the front desk for half an hour. At one point, the clerk leaned in as if he wanted to fight, which was both intimidating and unprofessional. I have this moment recorded on video. To make matters worse, the room I had originally reserved wasn’t available. Despite booking online and completing pre-check-in the day before, they offered what they called an "upgrade"—a room with two queen beds, which was far from ideal for my wife and me, especially since we were celebrating our honeymoon. The clerk's attitude was dismissive, and he suggested I speak to the owner the next day if I had issues. We ended up taking the room with two beds and had to sleep separately on our honeymoon. Although the rest of the stay was fine, I noticed a hold on my card for seven days after checking out and have yet to receive a response to my email inquiry.
