Fable is a really well located hotel in the middle of the CBD and the only one i came back to twice in the same trip which says a lot! The first visit there i got a bit of a crap room (all hotels have those and they were fully booked so can't really blame em) but they fixed this on my next visit a couple of days later and i got a room with a fantastic view. The highlight of the place is the little things. Like the thoughtfully laid out room fittings to the welcome bottle of wine which they gave me as per my request on the second time i was there. The room is also comfortable and well stocked and the climate control probably worked better than most hotels I've been in. If there was only a few things i wish they would do is, put in a Bluetooth speaker in the room for me to stream music to, and change the showers, because they have no hand held option which just feels very weird for a place that is otherwise so well put together.

It was lovely to have a clean room with comfortable bed. Thanks to the girls. Our meal was lovely. But most important, catching up with my eldest daughter, who have not seen for a few years. Wonderful.

Great location, lovely staff, pity about the lifts. With only two lifts servicing 20 floors and no service elevator for the staff, between competing for a lift with housekeeping and tour groups, you can easily wait 10 minutes just to get one to your floor only to find it full. Stairs not an option. With more lifts this would be another five star Fable.

Absolutely LOVE it! Fable did not disappoint. The room was lovely, clean and cosy. Loved the bed and comfortable pillows, had the best sleeps every night. Hotel is handy to local bars, restaurants and cafes all within walking distance. The Fable is situated in a very convenient spot close to everything, shops and galleries and the Cathedral. I highly recommend and would stay there again. Thank You, Fable for such a lovely stay. Oh forgot to mention if you hire a car there is Park Mate and Wilson Parking less than 40 seconds away from the hotel, cheaper than valet parking at the hotel.

A perfect room and stay. Beats most overseas hotels we have stayed at. Very quiet, good lighting, good internet, plenty of sockets, comfortable bed, good and quiet heat pump system, plenty wardrobe space and drawers. Robes and slippers. Floor space was a wee bit tight but perfectly fine. Right across the street from New Regent street with all its dining options and tram. On a whim decided to go to the Theatre across the street. Perfect. So very walkable to everything Christchurch has to offer. Only thing on the downside was a bit of a long wait for the lefts/elevators...but we were on holiday, not rushing off to a conference so it wasn't a big deal.

Fable properties are usually unique and special, but this was ultra-ordinary with indifferent service. Situated in a convenient location it's probably good for business travellers but completely lacks character and atmosphere.
