We had a wonderful stay at the Lotus! Our room was much larger than we expected and very comfortable. The staff was friendly and courteous. Everyone seemed to go out of their way to make us comfortable. I cannot recommend this hotel enough! I wouldn't think of staying at any other hotel in Waikiki.

We were very impressed with the Lotus hotel. The rooms were well-appointed, lovely and spacious and had the most beautiful views of Diamond head and the ocean. The staff could not have been more helpful and were quick to advise of all the great services the hotel had to offer including free iced water in the lobby, bikes and towels... More

Great hotel. Great staff. Great everything. Arrived at Aqua Lotus on June 9, 2013 and was immediately impressed with the hotel and staff. They were friendly and helpful from the valet to the front desk clerk. After hearing it was our first time in Hawaii, he gave us tons of recommendations ranging from food to activities to where we could... More

I would give the Aqua Lotus 6 stars if I could. We are residents of Hawaii and have stayed at all the big, expensive hotels in Waikiki and Kahala. Without exception, the Lotus offered us the best hotel experience we have had since Kona Village closed its doors! My top priorities are always a really quiet room, a good bed,... More

If your looking for quality lodging close to the action then lotus aqua is a very good option. Premium rooms are excellent. Good bathrooms, good beds, wifi included. Beach small and not crowded. 10 mins walk to Waikiki prime along the park/beach front. Perfect At the end of the day! Small walk home! Room cost is moderate. But you always... More

This hotel is not a resort (nor, for that matter, are most if not all of the hotels in Waikiki). It has no pool and is surrounded by parking lots. We knew that before we arrived and were very happy with our stay. The room is decent sized and comfortable, with nice amenities. The staff are friendly and helpful. I... More

We chose this hotel based on TripAdvisor reviews. The hotel is close to Kapi'olani park and Waikiki aquarium. It is reasonably close to the commercial district but situated in a quiet locality and avoids the noise and madness of central Waikiki. The room was well-furnished and recently updated. We went with a premium view room and the upgrade was worth... More

We booked this boutique hotel based on Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. I had requested a high level room as I am a light sleeper and we were put on level 12, the top floor. Room was bright and spotlessly clean. Bathroom modern and also spotless. Had a shower cubicle rather than old type bathtub which was nice. TV... More

Just returned from our second year of staying in Hawai'i and at the Aqua Lotus. We happened upon it by chance last year but came back this year because of how much we enjoyed the Aqua Lotus. Everyone there is incredibly friendly and the service is amazing - we were both somewhat shocked when we checked in this year and... More

This was my second time staying at the Aqua Lotus hotel while visiting Waikiki. My first stay was with my husband when we flew down to celebrate our 10th anniversary.
