Not big rooms, clean, but old, lots of history and character. Staff is great, breakfast is good, and everything you could ask for within walking distance. I'd definitely stay here again!Rooms: Tiny, a bit creepy but really clean and quaintNearby activities: Shopping is close, restaurants are close, beach is closeSafety: I felt safe hereWalkability: You can walk to where you're going (shopping, restaurants and beach)

Very much enjoyed my stay. The rooms are cozy but clean and comfortable. The area is a little iffy after dark but that's not in them.

I am so pleased with the aesthetic of my room. It's modern, clean, comfortable and has everything I could want or need perfectly designed into a small space ( but not too small!) from the shower and lit up mirror to the kitchenette and comfy bed it is absolute perfection. The free Wi-Fi and screen tv are icing . There is even an ironing board/iron and a desk if you need it. A place for everything and everything in its place. I am so happy I chose the Varden. The host, Greta, was responsive and very friendly even though I only chatted online with her. This is like an apartment complex. No front desk, just special access codes to get into the building and into my room. I feel safe, cozy and honestly?... quite spoiled . I wish I had booked another night because I am so thrilled to be here. They provide bedding, towels, coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge and some modern minimalist features that catch you by surprise. Definitely 5 stars in

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.

My partner and I tried to reserve a room here and had an unacceptable experience. We made online reservation 2 months in advance of our desired arrival. A month later, our application was still blowing in the wind. When I reached out to check on the status, Larry was annoyed and tried to rush me off the phone. Weeks before our requested reservation date, the manager, Larry, would not pick up the phone or respond to emails to provide a status update. Even after complying and submitting all requested documentation, both my calls and my partners calls would go unanswered. Believing I was being intentionally ignored, I had a friend call. Not to my surprise, Larry answered her call and told her there were available units! When I called immediately after, he would not answer. I literally had to call from my friend's phone just to get this person to flatly and incorrectly critique my application while also reiterating that "we get hundreds of other applications." I was really excited to stay here but I was mistaken and treated poorly. So sadly, after over a month of unprofessionalism I would NEVER recommend The Varden Hotel to anyone.

It’s cute little place right in the downtown of Longbeach. They mostly do long term stays and have a private parking space. Rooms all small in size but big in space for a single person. It’s very thoughtfully designed. Please note there is no elevator.

Cozy 1920s hotel in the heart of Long Beach. Walking distance to the Aquarium. Very quiet and clean.

The Varden is a lovely little hotel. The rooms are small, but clean with modern fixtures. The hotel offers complimentary breakfast as well as nightly wine tastings. The staff were friendly and helpful during the check-in and check-out process.

Quite a tight space but it has everything we needed - accessible to all places downtown and the waterfront, parking right next to the hotel, coffee (all day), breakfast, and very attentive staff. It fits the need (even if there wasn’t a lot of room). I would come back to this hotel again.

Very attentive and friendly staff, excellent location and rates. The rooms could use a mini fridge and an additional bathroom shelf but are very clean
