Solid stay, great room.

One of the better rooms in Seattle, spacious and well appointed. That said, it can be noisy. The room next door was ragging past midnight which made sleep more difficult. I finally banged on the wall and it stopped. You can also hear the street and if there is any pro sports game the reveling is noticeable. I would say to stay here and just not in a room that faces the street. I’ll be back and make adjustments but this is my new hotel for Seattle after 10 years of trying all the downtown places. The drip coffee was better than average as well.

Populus is a fantastically renovated older building. The staff is all extremely friendly. The rooftop bar is amazing! The bar down the street is SUPER noisy and it goes til 2am so would recommend asking for a higher up room if you’re a light sleeper. The area is a little unsafe fairly close by. We were there for one night to go to a football game so it was good for us.

Gorgeous. Needs better sound proofing?

The hotel itself is very nice. Our only issue was noise. We were located on the second floor and could hear the music from the restaurant below all the time.

Loved the decoration and hotel and the fact that we can stay one hour extra after check out time. Found the food for dinner a bit limited in options and expensive . A shame that the roof top bar that we choose the hotel for was closed for a private even during our stay :( and we were not previously informed about it .

Populus Seattle is an EXCELLENT stay located in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle. While Populus opened in Spring 2025 and is extremely clean and hip, the hotel is set in a structure originally built in 1907, which adds a unique vibe to the space. The entrance really unites you with the outdoor space of the PNW as you pass by trees and plants in the entrance of the hotel and foyer. There is a nature library, which we stopped into each morning and enjoyed while sipping the amazing tea and coffee they offer guests. The front desk was amazing, as well as valet. Our room was awesome- with extremely hip vibes. It was much more than a place to lay our heads at night, but allowed us to feel connected with the area. Extremely clean, beautiful room with clean bathroom attached. The hotel is located in walking distance of multiple restaurants, bars, shops, activities/sights. Additionally, Seattle was extremely bike friendly, of which we took advantage! Parking was valet and had no issue. Front desk attendant hailed us a cab one day, which we were super appreciative of! Would definitely recommend this hotel!
