My wife and I went to see Bloc Party at the Fillmore, and chose this hotel due to its proximity to the venue. Once we checked in, we fell in love. It has a Modern Hostel feel to it...sort of felt like we were europe...or japan. The hotel is located directly in the middle of Japan Town, and there are... more

Though we live in the vicinity, we stayed at the Tomo for two nights during a family event in San Francisco. The western part of the city, away from downtown but close to where much of the population lives, has very few hotels, so the Tomo and its more upscale Japantown sibling, the Kabuki, are excellent choices if you don't... more

Great value and lots of fun. I stayed there for a long weekend with infant son and my mother and would highly recommend the hotel. Pluses: *Excellent value: very comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully appointed rooms all for a reasonable price *Great staff: Staff were very friendly and helpful - e.g., with bags, advice on getting around, parking, etc. *Fun vibe:... more

You get the feeling that the Hotel Tomo has been on the end of a extreme makeover. Someone has rushed in there one morning and decided to turn it Japanese by sticking up murals in each room, replacing dated furniture with trendy minimalism and putting Japanese soap in the bathrooms.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Tomo for our anniversary. When I bought our tickets, I used their website and also became a member (for free) of their hotel's membership club. That meant that we received a complimentary bottle of wine in our room upon arrival. I also included in the notes to the hotel that it was our... more

It is located in Japantown. It is not walking distance to the main attractions, but you can take a cab for about... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Tomo after staying one night at the Comfort Inn on Van Ness. After that nastyness of a hotel, we were very pleased when we switched to the Hotel Tomo. Not only was it very close to the University of the Pacific, where my husband was going to be taking his dental licensure... more

Travelling around the USA is a great thing. Staying in excellent hotels during the trip is even greater! Hotel Tomo was one of them and I certainly advise this hotel to everyone who likes to stay in a nice quiet neighbourhood close to downtown San Francisco. The nice people at the front desk gave us a warm welcome and even... more

We took our son and his girlfriend to San Francisco for their graduation trip. They are both Anime fans so we chose this hotel for the theme. The room was comfortable for the four of us for five days. The location was the best! Not only was it right in Japan Town and only a block from Japan Center, it... more
