We were on the 5th (top) floor and indeed it had a capital view of the capital. The room (an upgrade) was very spacious and well-equipped and there was parking for the car. The owner/manager, Mark, was very welcoming and helpful, and Cuba Street (the main restaurant area) was about 5 minutes walk away. I thought this was all fine... More

We had 3 nights in this hotel at the end of a 10 day trip around north island. Had booked a queen studio room as it was all that was available at the time, however by this stage of our trip we were feeling the need for some space (couple with an older child) and so we took the penthouse... More

3 night stay mid-March 2nd floor (requested higher but not available. Located in Bohemian section close to Cuba street; so access to a wide range of types of restaurants & shops. 15 -20 minute walk to harbor. Furnishings outdated & a bit worn looking, making the place feel a bit less clean than otherwise.. Requested king-only bed but found 1... More

Wellington is expensive and finding a place with parking is impossible. So Captial View has a couple of bonuses. A group of 4 friends we had a family unit which was clean with everything we required. The building is old but the rooms seem to have been renovated recently. We arrived on Easter weekend which meant the lift only worked... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights during a trip around the North Island. It was covered in scaffolding when we arrived but the owner had kindly moved us into a bigger room at no extra charge to compensate for this, which allowed us to have access to two great views. The kitchenette facilities were great and the... More

Capital View Motor Inn was in a very good location. Handy for Cuba st and walking distance to most if not all of the city attractions. The place is clean but tired. Off street parking is a big plus as not many places offer this. We had 2 nights here and enjoyed our stay. If you are after 4 or... More

We stayed for two nights. The location is excellent near the top of Cuba Street so it really is a walk into Wellington (20 minutes to Te Papa) - and it has car parking. The only room available was bigger than we needed with a king bed and two singles but at a reasonable cost so we didn't mind. It... More

This hotel is well located in the heart of Wellington. The public areas of the hotel are quite tired. The rooms are clean enough and have the basics in the kitchenette. The bed was totally worn out and very uncomfortable, resulting in back pain during the day (which we don't usually suffer from). Offstreet parking is available.

Not overly attractive from the outside, BUT located near Cuba Street, free parking, free WiFi, clean and comfortable rooms at a reasonable price for a city hotel. The service was friendly and efficient. We would definitely recommend this hotel.
