Located near Cuba Street, within walking distance of Te Papa museum, the cable ride to the Gardens, and downtown, this motel offers rooms with kitchenettes for about $100US. The staff is very accommodating, and provided us with late access because our ferry was arriving after the front desk is closed (about 9:30pm). Rooms were clean. The lift is super fast... More

This was our second three night stay at this motor inn and we would definitely be happy to return for a third. The view from the top and second to top floors is wonderful. The room is spacious and comfortable but since it is set up as a unit where you can cook your own meals, it could have done... More

An unexpectedly warm welcome awaited us at Capital View Motor Inn and we immediately felt like part of their Family! Our room was spotless and remarkably spacious and the handy lift nearby made light work of transporting our suitcases to our room. Although it would have been good to have had some modest cooking facilities, Wellington is so full of... More

We stayed at Capital View Motor Inn in Wellington for 2-nights in March during a tour of New Zealand. We had booked a queen-bedded apartment on the internet a number of months in advance of our visit. On arrival we met Mark in reception who checked us into room 33 on the 4th floor and gave us maps of the... More

Recently spent six nights at this motor inn, taking two bedrooms and kitchen on fifth floor, city view. Although small the apartment met our needs, the double bed-sitting room basic with couch, comfortable bed and small table seating four. The extra room with two single beds allowed us this space to use for our luggage and dressing. The Kitchen overlooked... More

Good accommodation with easy access to central Wellington. Parking is limited and initially had to park in adjoining street. Access is fairly steep but has lift available once in the lobby. More

Great location, visiting the place where I grew up, was made really enjoyable, by the excellent accommodation. It was just an excellent choice on all levels. Mark and his team very helpful. More

The staff were friendly, the place felt safe and it was walking distance to where I was working However the room stunk of raw rish. I don't know if we were downwind of a fish seller or just close to the garbage but it smalled the same for three days. In hindsight I wish I would have asked to be... More
