The Varden Hotel in Long Beach

We had such a wonderful experience at the Varden! Our room was exceptionally clean and the perfect size for 1-2 travelers. Every member of the hotel staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful! We would definitely stay at the Varden again!

Very friendly staff and convenient location close to restaurants, bars, and shopping. Room is good for couples only if they don't use the bathroom. Where else can you go and enjoy a shower with the window open? Yes, the cool morning breeze felt great.

I was looking for a place to live while I get my life together and I found a place at the Varden Hotel. I'm a day in day outer and this is exactly what I need to get better. Shout out to Char and Valerie on the easy transition. Thank you.

Nice location very close to a lot of restaurants. Easy walking distance to a lot of downtown Long Beach. Rooms are small and definitely not for a family, but for one or one along with a significant other, it is nice. People were very friendly and helpful. The only thing I thought they could improve was the Continental breakfast offering. The coffee was great, but much of the pastry items were stale. However, there is a great bakery only 2 doors away... I would definitely stay again.

I've stayed here several times and it is always a great experience. It's an old SRO hotel (google THAT), so yes, the rooms are small. They have done an excellent job of remodeling and the staff is amazingly nice. This is now my go-to hotel in Long Beach. Wonderful bedding and amenities! I've stayed by myself and the full-sized bed is fine. With my husband, we had a room with a queen bed. The evening wine is a nice touch. It's very walkable to all of downtown Long Beach, so plenty to see and do.

Interesting hotel, and the layout of the rooms makes a lot out of a little space. The rooms are very clean, the staff is very attentive, and the location is great. They also have modern ductless AC units for heating and cooling. I stayed here while attending a conference at the Long Beach Convention center. It's about a 10-15min walk to the convention center, and I was able to figure out where I would eat lunch by taking a leisurely walk to the convention center. The rooms are small, but for one person it was perfect and I liked how they designed the rooms not to feel small. The building is old, and because of that there are more noises than a new hotel (water flowing, floors creaking). The noise was not too loud, but a sensitive sleeper might have a problem. The breakfast in the morning is simple: yogurt, juice, coffee, pastries, and oatmeal, but the Colonial Bakery is right next door and they have fresh cooked bacon and eggs. I'm glad I stayed here, and I would stay again.

Loved the customer service, nice clean room, good location away from the busy and loud streets

Cool hotel with excellent service. Very convenient to the Long Beach convention center and tons of bars and restaurants. The rooms are tiny but that's part of the charm.
