The Japanese themed Hotel Tomo has great decor and really quirky touches to all parts of the hotel, from the lucky cat in the lobby to the feature mural on the wall of each room, which were a very generous size. Everything was clean and well maintained and the bed was huge, although the bathroom was very basic. Nice added... more

This hotel is located just on the edge of Japantown in San Francisco, so the style of the hotel is asian-influenced and very trendy. I liked the room and lobby decor the most. If you're looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay, Hotel Tomo is it. But it's not exactly close to tourist spots like the Wharf, so... more

My family loves Japantown, and we come here all the time. This was our first time staying the night (we live 45 minutes away). I loved how convienant it was to everything in Japantown. You can walk to everything. My kids loved staying here. They have giant beanbag chairs, ipod docking alarm clocks, and fun decor. It's not fancy, but... more

My wife and I both were pleasantly surprised by the imaginative conversion of this old Japan Town hotel into a delightfully whimsical and creative space. The murals in the rooms with comment in Japanese characters, the photographs of staff in costume in the elevator and restaurant, the responsive and pleasant personnel, the convenient proximity of the hotel to the inviting... more

We stayed here for 5 nights and had a very pleasant stay. The reception staff were mostly very polite and helpful, however, there were a couple of people who let the side down. Our room was big and bright and had a bay window with a seat beneath it. The bathroom was quite small but functional. There was a large... more

We stayed here our last night in San Francisco. We liked the location in Japantown, which had many restaurants and fun shops to explore. Bus service was convenient. We're not into the club/nightlife scene, so the location was great for us - our night there was quiet, though we did get a room 2 doors down from the squeaky elevator.... more

This is more of a youth hostel than a real hotel. The beds were flat, pillows were not fluffy, they did not give us enough towels - not sure they even cleaned the room. The decor is cute, if kitschy, but the room's comfort level was very low. If Tomo were a $100/night hostel I would recommed it. But for... more

I really wished we could have stayed longer. Although we arrived at 9am, the staff locked up our bags and provided us w/bus directions and also provided us (many times) w/change for the bus. We were able to reach all of our locations quickly and with minimum fuss w/ the public transportation system. The availabitlity of a wonderful pizza place,... more
