I recently stayed at the Lotus Hotel at Diamond Head, and the experience didn’t meet expectations. Hidden amenity and parking fees added $270 to my three-day stay, which felt misleading. The hotel has only one elevator for multiple floors, making it inconvenient to come and go. The room advertised a complimentary bottle of wine, but I received two cans of hard seltzer instead. Another “amenity” was a free glass of wine from the hotel’s restaurant, but the restaurant was understaffed. Despite two bartenders chatting at an empty bar, we were told to wait for a hostess. A couple ahead of us was told the same thing, and now we were all just standing there waiting. After 10 minutes, we left. It felt more like a hassle than a perk. Borrowed beach chairs had broken straps, and the foot wash station was plagued with mosquitoes, making it unusable. On the positive side, the front desk staff were kind, the room was clean, and the welcome oshibori was a nice touch. However, these small details didn’t make up for the extra fees and overall lack of value. The hotel has potential but needs serious attention to service culture, staffing, and transparency about charges.

Quieter option with a view of the sea

Very comfortable stay with no issues at all. Friendly staff and at a low key hotel in a convenient location--could walk to Diamond Head--and the public beach next door was perfect. So glad we kept our distance from the big and crowded hotels at Waikiki.

The nearby beach access was good. Staff is friendly and it’s clean. But paying extra for “ocean view” is not worth it. There’s another building in the way and every room basically can see a sliver of the ocean without the extra cost.

Ok hotel. The staff was nice, but seemed to have no idea what they were doing. They forgot welcome drinks and our wine. They seemed to fumble over what to do next. The views were great! The hotel was not as clean as i expected. The 1 elevator sucked. Sometimes it took a while to come to you

Quiet location. Had to walk or Uber to excursion pick ups. Walking was about 25 to 20 minutes to get there so quite removed from weikei strip. Restaurant in hotel very limited menu and opening time so had to Uber or walk to all meals even breakfast. The mattress in hotel needed to be changed out. It is hard old and sagging my husband s back was feeling it. Very clean and attentive staff. Bathroom fan not working and still didn't work after they told us maintenance had worked on it. Nicely decorated but room smelled a bit musty. I went and bought air freshener which helped but lobby was lovely. If you want to be close to strip beach amenies of c restaurants and shops i wouldn't stay here but if you want to get away from business of strip and have quiet its fine.
