What in the world? The room is as small as humanly possible. There is NO way you can spend any time in your room-except to sleep. Its so small its just uncomfortable. Yes the employees are nice and the place is clean but literally the room is smaller than a room on a cruise ship. More

my overall experience with this hotel was superb. it's rare to find a hotel that hits the mark on every aspect of the stay, but that was exactly my experience at the varden. the varden is hip and cool without having to act hip and cool. it is genuine, friendly and warm. a modern, well-appointed room with a super-comfy bed...

We picked the Varden for it's location, but a plus was the wonderful service and interesting history. The friendly environment created by the owners and staff made the continental breakfast and evening wine and snacks into comfortable social gatherings. We met interesting guests as well as the super friendly staff and owners. More

I recently stayed at The Varden in Long Beach while attending a show at the Long Beach Convention Center. What a refreshing change from the big American hotel chain rooms! My room was small but well thought out in its use of space and quite comfortable. Everyone I met on the hotel staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. It was... More

The staff and management of this small hotel are what makes the difference. Yes, it's cute, it's not a chain, it's "non-standard." Put your preconceptions aside and revel in a group of employees that really take care of you. And an owner that shows up at 6:00am and makes you a cup of coffee. I have worked at 5 star... More

Stayed here on a one day excursion to Long Beach. I booked this hotel because of all the hype of how clean it was, friendly staff, and location. The hotel is clean, but very stark with all the white accessories. It is a modest hotel with basic amenties. The toiletries were nice, and the wine reception was a good addition.... More

I loved this place. The people are very nice. Staff at night are fun to talk to. They give you free glasses of wine. The rooms were very nice. I am a clean freak. If you want clean, you will be happy with this selection. Owner is very nice. This is what people remember!! I will definetly be back there. More
