What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise Fable Christchurch for its exceptional food, with some calling it "11 out of 10" and the steak the "best ever." However, one reviewer found their steak to be a little tough, though still enjoyed the taste. The hotel's central location and friendly, accommodating staff also receive positive mentions.

About this place Fable Christchurch

Fable Christchurch is a boutique hotel at 166 Gloucester Street in Christchurch's central city. It is a mainstream, gay-friendly property, not a gay venue. Reviews average 4.1 across more than 500 ratings. The location is central: the Avon River, the Arts Centre, Cathedral Square and the rebuilt CBD's restaurants and bars are all within walking distance. Christchurch's small LGBTQ+ scene has no fixed gay district, so walkability is what matters here. Check the Fable website for room types, parking and current rates.

Stayed in the fable in Christchurch and Dunedin and they are miles apart. This one had bored staff and unkept rooms. The gym is a joke and breakfast was plain.

Had a nights stay, the rooms were adequate nothing flash. We ate at the restaurant onsite. I ordered the lamb and hubby had the beef cheek. We ended up swapping as for me the lamb was too undercooked. I had the panna cotta for desert which was a little disappointing the flavours were great but the execution wasn’t fantastic, did t look like a panna cotta

Me and my friend stayed here for one night and someone knocked the door and tried to open the door directly without permission. We were sleeping at that time, if I didn’t lock the buckle on the door the guy was supposed to come in directly . I reflected what was happened in the morning to the manager of the hotel and she just said there is no CCTV and no room door swipe records, that’s it. This is how they solve the security problem for there guests. We are two female and I can’t imagine what will happen if I didn’t lock the door. The hotel told me they can’t do anything even no compensation. I won’t be stay at here anymore.
