What a find. Lovely spot close to Diamond Head and area cafes/restaurants. It was exactly what we were hoping for: quieter location vs. being in the middle of Waikīkī, but still great access to beaches and dining. Room was not super luxurious, but that was ok given the balcony view of Diamond Head was incredible! Hotel restaurant, Arden, was delicious. Be sure to get to know Melvin and his helpful colleagues at the front desk. Melvin made some amazing recommendations for hikes and dining! Enjoy and aloha!

The location was just perfect—so much more peaceful and calm compared to central Honolulu. There aren’t as many tourists, and it felt relaxing and quiet the whole time. At around 3am, the roosters would crow loudly and wake us up—but even that became part of the charm. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, which meant a lot to me as a Japanese guest who isn’t very confident in English. Everyone made us feel welcome. The views and surroundings were absolutely amazing, and the gym was perfect too. I especially loved the atmosphere around Kapiolani Park—it was beautiful and relaxing, and it was so easy to walk to Monsarrat Avenue. Of course, we also enjoyed hiking Diamond Head nearby. We also stayed in central Waikiki, but this hotel was truly something special. It’s quiet, cozy, and doesn’t feel crowded with tourists—a real hidden gem. It was the perfect place for our honeymoon. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Lita, Marie, George and team Lotus made sure we didn’t need anything during our stay. It was such a treat returning to our room at the Lotus after a day of running around catching all the sites. The views were fantastic!! We were even able to buy that lovely lobby fragrance before we left. Thank you!!

My family of three had a fabulous stay at Lotus. Rooms are well appointed though mattress and pillows could be firmer. View of Diamond Head is out of this world and proximity of beaches is appreciated. Service across the board was wonderful and welcoming. Appreciated the well stocked convenience store in the property next door. Don’t miss dinner at least once at Arden!

Wonderful hotel - quiet and spacious. The service there was spectacular. The hotel staff are so attentive and always there to lend a hand if needed. We love how the hotel is away from all the big hotels and the crowds. We can't wait to get back to Hawaii to stay there. Our experience there was so great and wonderful that we recommend it to all of our friends who are heading out to Oahu.
