Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head

I enjoyed staying here. The room was comfortable and clean. There is a coffee machine, microwave and fridge in the room. It was a much quieter stay than other hotels in waikiki but still walkable to the beach, restaurants and shops. I would love to stay here again if I return to this area again.

this place is a complete mess on every level. The first thing I noticed when I stepped in the room was the view, and that was nice. But then I noticed how dirty and run down the room was. I do not understand how they can claim they sanitized it considering the condition. I suppose part of the issue is how old the building is. The staff were all friendly and polite but it seemed like their hands were tied by an absentee owner. Major maintenance problems; the vents are falling apart, dirt and crud was falling out of several of them. Furniture all had a layer of grime or stains. At one point I returned to find the bathroom ceiling vent had actually fallen out and there was black mold or whatever that was all over the floor. The ceiling fixture itself is a complete facade. You can see in my photo, it's just all mold and nastiness up there. They really trying to say that is a ventilation system? This place is also weirdly noisy; huge booms of furniture being thrown and dragged around all night long. They were letting people have what they called 'after work get together' in the room upstairs at 1 am. It went on until 4 am. They didn't shut it down. Sounded like a dozen people. I did call the front desk a few times and the responses were not what I would expect from a four star hotel. I would advise against staying here, they never followed up with me. Would not risk it if I were you.

Perfect! Marvelous views. Comfortable bed. I didn't want to leave. Staff is amazing. And that steak was awesome. Cut with a butter knife.

Super nice and welcoming staff, clean room, and great location at the more quiet end of Waikiki area!

The location is nice because it is away from the chaos of waikiki but close enough to walk or take one of the hotel bikes to. The hotel itself is nice, and the staff is AWESOME! Christieann was so accommodating, and Paul and JR were also the best you could ask for. Staff can make or break a spot and this crew is top notch. I have stayed here multiple times and will continue to come back as it is the best value and great experience with the staff and location.
