I recently stayed at Fable Hotel in Christchurch and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The hotel is in a very handy location, making it convenient for exploring the city. The staff were friendly, and the setup was clean and inviting. I appreciated the complimentary coffee, but I was surprised that there was no complimentary water. However, I found the room to be quite small, and as I spent a fair amount of time in it, the lack of brightness was noticeable. Additionally, the corridors had a bit of an unpleasant smell, which was off-putting. On a positive note, the shower was clean and worked well, which made my stay more comfortable. Despite a few drawbacks, I would consider staying here again due to its convenient location and the overall good experience.

The after hours menu is appalling. The breakfast is worse. NZ$38 for a ‘full’ breakfast with very limited choices, don’t expect a full buffet, extra for proper coffee if you can get anyone to make one, and extra for special order eggs. It’s clean and located well but has been going downhill over the last few years.

Hotel was alright though didn’t feel like a 5 star hotel. Sauna was not on which was a main factor of booking this hotel. Staff and facilities were otherwise okay.
