Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, great hotel. The staff (reception, cleaning, facilities) were all so friendly and helpful. I really appreciated that they allowed me to check in early and out late to accommodate my flights. I recommend a corner room-I had a magnificent view of both Diamondback and the ocean. The beach is just steps away, and they provide beach chairs and towels. The restaurant was outstanding. My only wish is that it was open for breakfast. Plenty around within walking distance. Would stay there again!"
