Overall the hotel itself was nice but we did run into a few issues. One was that there was no kids menu (this was my oversight) although the Auckland, Canterbury and Dunedin hotels all have a kids menu. Next someone called my room (for a nice reason) at 9pm when I had a 4 year old asleep. Lastly the cleaner entered my room when I was getting dressed as they had marked us as checking out when we hadn’t.

Sadly a very disappointing stay and lacks any of the charm and panache of other hotels that we’ve stayed at. We’ve stayed at Fable Auckland several times and there’s no comparison in room size, comfort, bed and decor. This is not a luxury hotel, the room was horribly cramped and soulless and the coffee undrinkable. Our main gripe was the heating as they have the system locked to Central so you can’t alter the temperature. We rang several times as it was unpleasantly cool but despite several attempts by reception to unlock this option, it remained on cold air. It is a basic not a luxury to have your room at a chosen pleasant temperature, even more annoying when you pay a premium and have an expectation when staying in a Fable hotel. Glad it was for just two nights and would not return here and will not choose this hotel chain again.

Rooms were nice but very small. Great central location and good nearby food options. Fire alarm went off at 1am. It was a false alarm but there was no communication to the guests at all. Wasted an hour trying to figuyout if it was real or out.

Good stay with a couple of exceptions. Price list for in room snacks was in the drawer. We opened the small bottle of wine left by the coffee maker thinking it was complimentary and then discovered it was actually $40. We would have appreciated to have the list posted visibly. Gym was very small so we skipped it. There was a false fire alarm in the middle of the night and we received no communications/instructions from staff. We concluded on our own that it was false alarm but a number of people exited and got stuck in the stairways which resulted in confusion and some yelling by other guests trying to get them out. Apart from that our stay was good. Location great and the room well appointed and comfortable.

First stay at Fable Christchurch

The fire alarm was on going after midnight when I needed to evacuate in front of my room had huge housekeeping trolley block way all night! I called the reception but no one answered. I went stairs and walked down but other people were going back to their rooms so I went back to my floor again but not able to open the door because it was locked. So I went down stairs again and went to the reception but no one explained anything no apologies. Finally I got back to the room around 1:30am. :( The room was clean except coffee bench. The wall had damaged. I wish inside the gym had water fountain would be nice as I love sauna! This hotel prepared for my request small gift was very nice. :) Thank you very much!
