We had an amazing stay at Populus! We booked the Poplar Two Queen corner room, which was spacious and featured massive windows with an incredible view of the tower. Beyond the stunning biophilic design and the cool carbon-positive mission, the dining was a major highlight. The food at Pasque, the lobby restaurant, was absolutely excellent. The beds were super comfortable, the staff was welcoming, and the location is perfect. Will definitely stay here again!

The room was so cute and cozy. The layout reminded me of Japan which was very pleasant for us. The bathroom was my favorite with cozy dimmable lighting and the shower was so comfortable. I especially enjoyed the view from our window. The pillows were fluffy and the staff even brought me an extra one after bringing me feminine hygiene products. The bar and the view were incredible with the view of the capital building and the city. We also really enjoyed the food from the first floor restaurant. I was unable to try the breakfast due to early morning commitments but I can’t wait to try at our next stay!

Clean room and great location, a 5-6 min walk to the convention center. Didn't have breakfast at the hotel, but the Little Owl coffee shop at the ground floor makes excellent coffee! I got the smallest room kind which was nice but very, small---think APA Hotel Tokyo. The room also has that design where the sink is out in the open instead of the bathroom, which I'm not a fan of. Another con is that the mini-fridge is very small and since it's already filled with the minibar items, it's hard to store my own items like drinks/snacks I bought myself. Otherwise the gym is pretty decent and the hotel looks very cool and futuristic!

It’s a beautiful hotel, very clean. The staff are not super friendly. I wasn’t told that I had a credit to the café with my stay. I was told they would call me when my room was ready and they would hold my bags for me, but I had to finally come back and check in myself because I had received no text that day. We came in late after a concert and no one greeted us or said hello. Otherwise, very cute and beautiful, clean hotel with really good coffee and food

My stay would have been exceptional, except for the smoke smell in my room. It was coming from the restaurant on the roof, and it filled my room after a long day. As someone with allergies, it was extremely difficult to get rest. The staff was incredibly kind, understanding, and helpful. They moved me to a different room and even provided an air purifier, which was a great help. However, even after the move, the room was still filled with smoke. I had to suck it up, take my allergy medication, and deal with the headaches. I want to say that the people working the front desk are incredible and I think the staff was wonderful it is just the smell of smoke they they have no control of. They did their best
