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.
