Nice place, very reasonably priced and a good location with free parking. The owner was very helpful regarding a stuff up with a booking by the AA. The rooms were very comfortable for a family. The motel is near a nice convenience store and steps away from the top of Cuba Street. Old fashioned good service and reasonable prices, we... More

Our first visit to Wellington was a nice experience! Capital View Motor Inn is a right choice. Not something deluxe but good value. The building is a bit tired but the room was refurbished with everything adequate for a family, and we enjoyed the million dollar view from the windows! Free and safe parking, plus central location for driving in... More

I stay here regularly. Service is always helpful and friendly. It is central to the businesses I have to visit and because it is a landmark I can use it as a beacon to find my way back. I am able to park my large van in free off-street parking area. Very close to Cuba St restaurants and bars. More

My wife and I have stayed here twice in the last couple of months. Mark,the manager,was always welcoming and nothing was too much bother to him. The room was always clean and well serviced. As someone else said the Motor Inn has no street appearance but once inside all is well with good views over the city if you are... More

Don't be put off by street appearance - once inside very nice. Mark was most welcoming. Great location - only 5 minute walk to Cuba Street, 15 mins walk to CBD and 45 mins walk to zoo. Room clean and serviced daily. Would stay here again. More

We have stayed here a number of times over the last few years and keep coming back for the following reasons. The rooms are spacious and airy. Fresh air and opening windows are a positive feature for me. Always clean and well presented, I prefer the north facing rooms for the great views over the city and harbour and sun.... More

We had mixed feelings about this motor inn. The dining area and bedroom were very good. Very clean and well appointed and the view of Wellington was most impressive. However the bathroom defintely needed an update. Old fashioned shower and the noise from the plumbing made it very difficult to sleep. A full length mirror would have been very welcome.... More

The rooms are a good size and clean, the hotel is a 15 min walk to the CBD. The road noise is a bit loud especially in the higher rooms. The big negative about this property is the noise from the water pipes, for 5 nights we had trouble sleeping before midnight as every time someone flushed or had a... More

Capital view is a very good location, in easy walking distance of the city centre and waterfront. At the top of Cuba st. it is a really interesting part of the city. Mark is a superb host and gives a real Kiwi welcome. The rooms are very clean and serviced daily. More
