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."
