I stayed at this hotel for the third time on a recent trip to a trade show in Long Beach. It is a short walk to the convention center, and to many nice restaurants in long beach. The city is relaxed, and the weather always seems to be lovely. The hotel offers complimentary continental breakfast, which for me, contributes to... More

Good location, European feel, very clean, great beds, lush towels, and the best staff! It's nice to know that every time my husband and I revisit it's a top rated experience. The staff make you feel like family and they're always glad to help you with anything you need. We visit Long Beach at least two times a year and... More

I stayed at the Varden for one week during a conference. The room does not have a closet, which made things a bit cramped for such a long stay. For a single person for only a couple of nights, it would be fine. The bed was too soft for me, but many people consider that a luxury, so I won't... More

I stayed at the Varden on a business trip to Long Beach because I wanted to stay an extra day after to see some of the area. It was an easy and safe walk down to the Aquarium and very close to a bunch of great places to eat. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating and the rooms, though... More

Yes...this is the place to stay in Downtown Long Beach! The hotel is boutique and the owners are on site taking care of your every need along with the very pleasant staff. The rooms are clean and crisp. They have a continental breakfast, fresh fruit always available, a lovely wine tasting in the evening. The buildings in Downtown Long Beach... More

I was in Long Beach recently for a conference and stayed at The Varden hotel. The hotel is charming and as is the staff, and the price is very reasonable considering the location and all the amenities, etc. Plus their customer service is outstanding. Our room was clean as could be and very comfortable. We needed to reschedule our shuttle... More

I've spent a bit of time in Las Vegas, but this was our first time staying in Long Beach. My girlfriend and I were absolutely stunned with the amazing staff and knowledge of the area they all possessed. They were very accommodating and helped us out everyday. Whether it be suggesting restaurants or aiding in public transit, they really seemed... More

I was in Long Beach for a conference and thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Varden. The staff went out of their way to welcome me and were extremely helpful with information about the area. The room was small, but tastefully decorated and the building has been updated nicely. I chose to walk 15 minutes to reach the LB Conference... More

Our first trip to Long Beach and the Varden was recommended by our travel agent, we were not disappointed from the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome.
