Fable Christchurch

Fable Christchurch

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic room - the jacuzzi & bathroom layout, in the junior suite, was the best I've experienced for the price point. The room was thoughtfully laid out in general. Fable is well located & we loved the view. The only things we could fault are light entering around the sides of the bedroom curtain & noise from TVs in other rooms being audible. If you're a light sleeper, it might not be for you."

Hotel Give

8/10 Good
"My first review for the first night stating that we didn't get a good sleep coz of the staffs/ housekeeping talking in the hallway. Today was good as not a lot of people left as it's a Monday plus housekeeping came later. The room is nice and modern with balcony we like it. Location is very good just walking distance to museums, art gallery, shops and restaurants (Riverside market) etc. Reception were good too as well as breakfast just basic continental and bacon eggs but good enough for the price."
