Basically an older hotel that was renovated maybe 5 years ago. The beach in front was small and overcrowded. No pool!! The location wasn’t great either. Stay in Waikiki beach area, you will be happier as much more around and nicer beach. The staff were incredibly nice though

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!

Could have been a lot better.
The room was fairly expensive at an ocean view corner. However, if I had a better ocean view and not a view of the rooftop of parking lots, I would have liked the view a lot better. The bed was very soft and uncomfortable. The TV service had Fox, but not MSNBC. And I hate Fox. In general, the front desk was unresponsive however, the valet service was quite good. It should also be noted that the restaurant on site has limited hours and days and one cannot get any breakfast foods or snacks on site at this hotel. I have stayed here in the past and I liked it a lot, it’s too bad that the current environment is not satisfactory.

Lovely Small Hotel, Great Staff
We enjoyed this small hotel. Clean, quiet, comfortable, and attractively decorated. Our room had a beautiful view of Diamond Head and partial ocean view. The Lotus is one building off the beach so there are no direct ocean view rooms. Every staff member we encountered was very friendly and helpful. We liked the location - by the beach but away from the hustle & bustle of Waikiki. There is no pool, but a 30 second walk down a path takes you to a small, pleasant beach. The one negative mark I would give the Lotus is there is one fine dining restaurant at the hotel but no casual dining on site, or even nearby. It’s inconvenient to leave the premises in search of breakfast or a light meal. But all in all a very nice stay. We would book this hotel again.

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!
