ROKU KYOTO, LXR Hotels & Resorts

Rooms are clean, spacious, and feature private onsen or direct pool access. The thermal pool and spa are excellent. Staff are attentive and kind. Dining quality is high though service lacks elite polish. The hotel sits in a quieter area requiring cabs for sightseeing, though Kinkaku-ji is walkable. Some find it worth the premium, others feel restaurant hospitality falls short of five-star expectations.
