This just has to be one of the best values in Honolulu. We love the location, far enough away from the hubbub of Waikiki for a good nights sleep (in an attractive, clean, well equipped room and a comfy bed) but yet just a short walk to great restaurants, activities, and sights. My wife and I checked out the free... More

This hotel MADE my trip. Every single staff member was friendly and helpful. They truly care about their guests. The location was PERFECT...away from busy Waikiki Beach, but close enough to walk to it. What makes it even better is that there are really nice small beaches close by too. The room was beautiful, clean, and extremely comfortable. It had... More

Yup, it took some fiddling around to make the machine work, but the cappuccinos were pretty good (with no extra charge). Another outstanding feature was the comfort of the mattresses, which have a plush top layer. However, the beds are somewhat smaller than typical, and we were woken up at midnight by a loud party above us. Overall we were... More

I can't say enough nice things about it! My only complaint is the lack of "Hawaian" music in the public areas and elevators. Music ranged from classical to rock. For me, that was disappointing. For an inexpensive and fun breakfast, head down the street to the Barefoot Beach Cafe just past the Aquarium. Friday nights watch the Hilton Hawai'ian Village... More

We really enjoyed staying at Aqua Lotus in Honolulu. Easy walking distance into the busy Waikiki, the Aquarium and the Zoo!. Staff there are very helpful and very friendly. We asked for a Japanese restaurant recommendation near the hotel, and it was so tasty and good value for money we went back again the 2nd day! The hotel also have... More

My husband and I stayed at the Aqua Lotus for 5 days earlier this month, and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The location of the hotel is perfect - right across the street from the STUNNING Diamond Head, and within walking & biking distance from the madness of Waikiki. We really loved being a little bit removed from the... More

My husband and I loved the location of this hotel. Nestled on the Diamond Head side of Waikiki, it's far from the crowds of tourists. We woke up to a beautiful view of the mountain and a semi-obstructed (1 hotel) view of the ocean. There is a nice walkway along the beach that takes you to the more busy part... More

Stayed for 5 nights and found it to be an oasis from the Waikiki bustle. We used the complimentary beach bikes to pedal our way a few blocks to the nightlife further down the road. Very relaxing and the service was outstanding. The hotel does not have a pool but the accommodations made me so mellow that I did not... More

Located near Diamond Head, the Aqua Lotus is everything we wanted. Steps from the beach, near Queens Park, the Aquarium, the Zoo, fine dining Michel's Restaurant, and the (private) Outrigger Canoe Club. It's elegant, quiet, friendly staff, clean, great views of Diamond Head, the ocean, the park and Waikiki. Breakfast is available on the second floor, but more importantly, it... More
