You Gotta Stay Here

Our suite was amazing. It was like we had our own apartment. The kitchen was very well appointed and had small touches like salt, pepper and even olive oil. The smart TV allowed us to watch all of our favourite Apps. It exceeded all of our expectations - across the board.

Perfect Stay in Ladysmith

🛏️ Perfect Stay in Ladysmith This newly renovated room was spotless, spacious, and super comfortable—with a great bed and even a washer/dryer. Located right on Ladysmith’s charming main street, it’s close to everything. The host was fantastic and communication was smooth. Highly recommend!

What a fabulous property, we thoroughly loved our stay at the Temperance Hotel. The apartment was spacious, immaculately clean and well appointed. We were across the street from a Gluten Free cafe which was a nice surprise. You can walk through the beautiful town of Ladysmith and down to the water. We highly recommend this hotel if you want a home away from home while you are travelling. 10/10

What an incredible place the Temperance Hotel is. Beautifully renovated. We stayed in room No. 4 and it was perfect for the two of us. The owners did a fantastic job both decorating and making this such a comfortable place to stay. Denise even dropped off some lemon tarts from Old Town Bakery (as it would be closed during our stay). Yes, we would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Temperance Hotel. The ambience of the space was lovely, thoughtfully designed and incorporated some of the original materials of the original interior. It was a peaceful place to stay, right in the heart of the town. We would definitely stay there again.

A wonderful getaway!

The place was wonderful - clean and spacious with a full and well-appointed kitchen. The owners were really responsive and helpful. The hotel is right on the Main Street of Ladysmith, which is a beautiful town with great shops, cafes, hiking and vineyards all around. We spent four nights here and had a great time. Highly recommend.

Amazing locally owned hotel. I've stayed in I think 4/5 suites now and each one has been great. Each is a great apartment style space, with full kitchen (I believe one of the suites has a kitchenette only) and so far has always had some kitchen essentials on hand like oil, salt/pepper etc. Makes staying in hotel for work much nicer, not having to eat out for every meal. Great location, very close to cafes, bars, unique shops and grocery stores a bit further away. Would definitely stay again.
