This motor lodge is directly opposite Wellington hospital which is why I stayed here. This is not a 5 star hotel nor does it pretend to be. The rooms are comfortable, tidy and clean. Cooking facilities (a stove top, but no stove) are available and include a microwave plus basic cooking equipment. Staff are very obliging.

Ascot Motor Lodge is a very convenient place to stay overnight in Wellington. Easy to locate with good public transport access to Wellington city-centre. Rooms are quite good, although the Wellington main Hospital is across the road we experienced no disturbance. Friendly service, very helpful in planning your way into town.

I had to stay in wellington when a family member was in wellington hospital. The hotel across the street was very nice. The staff are friendly, i could do cooking (it had a stove top and not just a microwave), yay for not have to share a kitchen/bathroom/tv etc, and it was handy to be literally across the street at...

Very close proximity to hospital (literally across the road!) and short walk to Newtown supermarket & restaurants. City centre and airport are also both close by car/bus. Very pleased with 1 bedroom apartment: while not fancy, clean and functional and just what we needed. TV reception wasn't the best but this only affected some channels; not really a concern. Service... More

My daughter and I had come to Wellington to see the Wiggles concert and hadn't realised that the All Blacks were playing the same day. We were lucky enough to get a room here at Ascot Motor Lodge with undercover parking. The hosts were very helpful with any questions we had, and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were... More

I recently stayed here on a work trip to Wellington Hospital. Location was great for anyone needing to go to the hospital. It was across the road so you can also get free parking! I walked up the street and had Indian takeaway for dinner, but there were a few options within walking distance.The room was compact, but perfectly ok... More

We booked into this place for 4 nights. It is what you would expect but the TV reception in the room we had was terrible. Only some channels were clear. When asked if they could be fixed the owner said the place had issues but they could not really do much. He offered no compensation and said we could check... More

Thanks for your feedback Leighton, again we apologise that enjoyment of your stay here was impacted with the poor TV reception of TV3 and Prime. As mentioned, unfortunately a bank of scaffolding erected directly in front of our aerial on the newly constructed Ronald McDonald house next door in the few days prior to your arrival, was accessed as the...

Handy spot to park if afraid of all the one way streets in central Wellington as Buses within 50 metres of door. Rooms clean & equipped, no noise from busy road, at least on ground floor. Make your decision on the above. A wander up Riddiford road is not inspiring & even tho Asian/ Indian restaurants are in profusion, they... More

Had a very nice stay here. Rooms were well attended to and the cleaners were lovely. I was however slightly disappointed with the reception service given as i did not find them overly helpful/friendly. I was also quite shocked to find that having stayed here for a prolonged period of time and at a decent price a night, i was... More

Compact motel in a centralish location - ideal for visitors to Wellington who have a vehicle and don't watn to pay extra fees for parking. Staff friendly and helpful. Kitchen fully equipped. Handy to hospital and walking distance from Newtown. Would stay here again.
