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
