Rough Guide "Hotel Tomo is a youthful, anime-themed place decked out in neon-bright colours."
DK Eyewitness "A complete Japanese experience in the heart of Japantown."
Lonely Planet "The blond minimalist room furniture and fat-boy beanbags make it feel a bit like a college dorm, but it's great fun for families and anime nuts – if not high-heeled sophisticates."
Gayot "The Asian-influenced Buchanan celebrates San Francisco’s more eclectic side."

Wallpaper "San Francisco’s newest boutique hotel The Buchanan, draws décor inspirations from its Japantown location at the crossroads of the gritty Fillmore District and chic Pacific Heights." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Buchanan’s 128 rooms are a study in wabi-sabi: Rough canvas drapes offset crisp white bed linens; pale marble-topped dressers contrast with bright, asymmetrical wall prints." Full review

Star Service "This still ranks among the best small hotels here, and it remains a champion along the north end of Fisherman's Wharf." Full review
Gayot "Set in Fisherman's Wharf, this Kimpton Group hotel goes for broke with its maritime theme."
Zagat4.3
