We have been to Oahu several times and really enjoy the quieter side of the strip. Lotus is a quick walk through the park to arrive at the hotel. I loved it. I unlike other contributors found the staff very friendly. They referred us to fantastic places along with maps on how to get there. Sure it didn't have stores,... more

We booked this hotel thru hotwire and wanted to be in Waikiki in a nice 4 star hotel for the last nite of our honeymoon. Now don't get me wrong - the room was lovely - and the view even better... but the service.. POOR AT BEST. When we arrived it took a LIFETIME to get checked in - the... more

I stayed at the Lotus for 2 nights in an Ocean view room on the 8th floor. The Lotus used to be a W Hotel but is now under new management. It is a small property that is not on the beach. There is a partial view of the water from between other buildings in front of the Ocean. The... more

The room felt roomy and was nicely decorated. Everything was clean. We had a tenth floor ocean view room with a private balcony looking toward Diamond Head; the view was great, especially while reading the free newspaper in the morning. The only thing that wasn't great was that the hotel was a little further from the middle of Waikiki than... more

I've been to Honolulu a few times and I absolutely love this hotel. It's far enough away that you feel a bit secluded but the walk is very easy to get to the action in town. The service was great - Michael especially made great suggestions on dinner and shopping. The rooms were clean and well decorated. The bed in... more

We are frequent travelers to Honolulu as my husband has an office there. We have stayed all over Waikiki then migrated toward Diamond Head to the New Otani. The rooms there were small, so after three stays, we decided to wander across the parking lot and check out The Lotus. We were told that the "W" went bankrupt and now... more

My husband and I are from Oahu. I honestly hate Waikiki...most of the hotels and restaurants are just there to provide a fake sense of Hawaii, take all your money, and give you crappy service because you're a tourist and they don't have to worry about keeping your business. However, even with that opinion, we needed a good place to... more

Lotus is an asian themed hotel. Location is great -- across from the park and away from the touristy areas of Waikiki. Its not a beach front property, but some rooms get a partial view of the ocean, others get a really nice view of the Diamond Head. Rooms are pretty big, hotel is clean, although towls could be a... more

This hotel has got to be the absolute best hotel on the island due to the location, price and service! Some might be hesitant about the hotel due to it not being in the center of Waikiki. This is not really a problem as Waikiki is only a five to ten minute walk through beautiful Kapio'lani Park. Plus, you do... more
