Fantastic clean and modern rooms with the best beds! Everything you could possibly need. Dave and Nat are great hosts and more than happy to go out of their way. They can certainly recommend some great restaurants! Motor Inn is great location opposite hospital and just up the road from bus stop. Even not a bad walk into central city.... More

Realy nice, helpfull staff, would definitely recommend to anyone... More

Thanks SO MUCH to Nat & David for looking after me during my short stay in Wellington. The rooms are spacious, clean and the BEST bed that I have slept in, in a Moter Inn ever. Definitely would have no qualms in recommending any of my family and friends to stay with them.

Thank you so much to David & Natalie for their amazing service, they took me in at short notice, moved me when I needed to change rooms and were just wonderful. The rooms are large, extremely clean and well kitted out. Bathrooms are huge with fabulous Spa baths and great 'power showers'. Across the road from the hospital, yet very... More

Unfortunately, when we had to check out early to catch the ferry to the South Island the man at the front desk was really rude and... More

Found out that there is this Rugby Sevens event going on on Waitangi Day, so it could become a challenge to get a decent room at an adequate price. We also wanted something near the hospital. We were really happe, that after some searching we ended... More

We recently stayed here in conjunction with a trip to Wellington Hospital. The owners could not have been more helpful and the unit on the 3rd floor was spacious, clean and mostly removed from the road noise. Beds were very comfortable. It is within a 3 min walk to the main Hospital doors and the bus service is nearby and... More
