Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Fable Dunedin garners praise for its exceptional service and attention to detail, though guests occasionally miss a warmer touch. While the hotel is celebrated for its premium experiences and stylish ambiance, some travelers mention the costliness of certain services.
The comfort and personal touches of the rooms are well-liked, despite their size and some unmet luxury expectations. Its prime location near historic sites and the city center makes it a hit for sightseers, and guests rave about the cleanliness and the luxurious, well-appointed decor throughout.

Detailed Reviews
Firstly the good differences: valet parking. I thought I would hate this. I loved it. Car got its windscreen cleaned and little water bottles for the trip home as well as being brought round whenever we needed it.
Night light mode in room and toilet. Every hotel should have this. Also auto light in wardrobe. Brilliant.
Coffee pod machine. Nice shampoo and soaps and no waste as they are big bottles.
Lovely everything and spotless. Maintenance is done relentlessly and it shows.
Continental breakfast you can pick 4 items and a small juice. Not including tea and coffee when you get such nice ones in your room seems pointlessly mean when everything is so gorgeous.
Service is exemplary and unlike every other hotel at the moment they didn't cut something due to Covid isolations. Maybe just luck, maybe better planning.
Others have mentioned street noise, but I didn't notice it.

We had the best stay at Fable — the attention to detail when completing their renovations is second to none. We stayed in one of their luxury rooms and it seriously lived up to the name, complete with coffee machine, two flat screen TV’s and an in room iPad that controls Chrome Cast and works as a phone to contact reception if you need anything. We had the continental breakfast which was divine and a real step up from your average hotel breakfast, we’re talking croissants & fresh fruit - it doesn’t get much better.
The Press Club is so lush for dinner and drinks, and has a very sophisticated, moody vibe which we loved. They offer valet parking but there is also so much on street parking nearby that is free from 6pm-9am which made out stay so much easier!
All in all, couldn’t recommend Fable more. The staff are wonderful, the rooms are everything you want and more, and we just had the best best time!

Dear Molly, Thank you for choosing to stay at Fable Dunedin and for your joyous review! Now that the cold weather is creeping in it is important to feel comfortable as well as entertained in your room, we are finding our chrome cast to be really popular as you can just pick up whatever Netflix shows you have been watching at home and snuggle down with them, no stress. Thank you for mentioning The Press Club in such glowing terms, hopefully you will be able to join us again soon to sample our sumptuous new winter menu. Thanks again Molly, Sally

Annie, the Duty Manger, ensured that our stay was seamless & stressfree. Our room & Press Club for cocktails & dining, had a cosy and intimate atmosphere, traditional with a contemporary twist. Perfect for a night away. Thanks Chef and staff.
This historic boutique hotel in Ōtepoti (Dunedin) is in a very central location and offers a choice which is a little different for vistors and guests. Having a recent full renovation there are many options of rooms for guests depending on type and length of stay and Annie made sure that we were happy with the classic room. On leaving, we had a quick look look into one of the function rooms that is decorated in the same style incorporating features of the original hotel such as beautiful stained glass windows. I could imagine it would be a lovely wedding venue and useful to know it can cater for functions and group meetings.

Dear Sarah, I was so happy to read that Annie looked after you so well during your stay, she is a lovely person and was thrilled to be mentioned by name in your review! The Chancellor Room that you took a sneak peek at is newly refurbished like the rest of the hotel but the stained glass windows and chandeliers are part of the original set up, we have just polished them up to look like new. It sounds like you had a perfect romantic getaway with us here at Fable... Long may your own "Love Story" last. Warmest Regards, Sally and Team

We loved our stay at Fable Dunedin. The staffs were super friendly and professional. The Junior Suite was spacious and comfortable. We ordered dinner to the room with a pizza bought from outside and it was the most relaxing Christmas Eve we ever had.
The most surprising thing at Fable was their complimentary continental breakfast - the pastry was insanely good. Fresh, warm, tasty. Totally unexpected.
Fable is a perfect choice if you're after a romantic weekend or simply chilling out in a clean and stylish hotel room.

Dear Dinothefoodie, Thank you so much for leaving us such a great review! Thank you for complementing our hospitality and appreciating the Junior Suite you stayed in. It's one of the most sought after rooms and perfect for a long stays given its spacious layout. Our continental breakfast in indeed very popular given how unique it is to a conventional one. I'll surely pass on your complements to the kitchen team. We hope to welcome you back in future for another pizza night you celebrate with us in luxury ;) Regards, Guru & team Fable Dunedin

We were delighted by our stay. The restoration is wonderful and it is good to see this historic building being cared for. The staff were unfailingly helpful and friendly, trying very hard to accommodate simple requests. The continental breakfast included fresh fruit and wonderful pastries. While the bathroom in our room was small it was very well appointed. The spacious room with comfy bed, and touches such as the excellent bedside lamps reflected the care that had gone into the redecoration and fitting out. The carpets were a real treat. If you are looking for modern, bland, with no quirky slopes or corners: forget it. If you want style and a touch of history, you will not go wrong. There is an added benefit of a very central location, within walking distance to key sights. We wish them well.

I usually stay at another hotel not far from the Fable but thought that I would give it a go.
My trips to Dunedin are usually always business related so let’s start with the:
Good
* well decorated,tastefully presented decor which I’m informed is newly refurbished
* food in restaurant, few options on menu but quality and service was great
* doorman in their suits, staff exceptionally well presented and helpful was fantastic
* rooms have all the essentials and are comfortable
* beds super comfy with USB plugs/ outlets alongside for all devices ~ bravo!
Average
* parking is not easy
* valet is $30 per night
* some rooms are a little cramped (not the end of the world)
* air conditioning is noisy, so had to be turned off
Bad
* noise from surrounding traffic, if you are a light sleeper, in some rooms is not great.
I would highly recommend a visit provided you are given a quieter room perhaps higher up in the building further away from streets and traffic.
For business, my needs are basic and all the little service extras are appreciated but they aren’t essential. I desperately need a quiet room and a good nights sleep, so for me... This may not be my new go to for accommodation.
... unable to fall asleep, so writing a review.

Dear Mr Stansfield, Thank you for sharing your constructive feedback in the form of a nicely balanced review, your praise of the aspects of your stay that you enjoyed were very much appreciated! As we have discussed in our email correspondence following your stay, we have plenty of nice quiet rooms which are spacious as well, I am sure that you would have a great night's sleep in any of these. We would love it if you gave us another chance. Please do contact me direct at the same email address if you choose to stay at Fable again at some stage in the future and I will ensure that we allocate a room that will better suit your requirements and hopefully make up for the disappointment of your last stay. Have a lovely weekend, thanks again, Sally

My husband and I recently travelled to Dunedin for my 50th birthday and spent three nights at Fable Dunedin. We absolutely loved this hotel. Our room was stylish and beautifully appointed - we particularly enjoyed the shower and twin basins in the bathroom. Having the Press Club downstairs was also a winner. So lovely to return to the hotel after a busy day and relax in the bar over a drink. However, in our opinion it was the staff that made the visit truly memorable - so friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend the valet parking if you are arriving by car - so easy. We would now never stay anywhere else when returning to Dunedin.

If there was a 3.5 rating I would have given that.
The staff are wonderful - friendly & helpful, nothing was too much trouble.
My husband & I stayed in a Junior Suite early January for three nights.
I would not stay in this room again. Having a lounge was great, BUT it left the bedroom too small. There was only a bag rack for one bag & it was squished in a corner beside the wardrobe & the bed. To get my case out I had to lift it over the top of a lamp & the bedside table. I did utilise the drawers in the wardrobe but still needed my case. My husband put his case in the corner of the room at the end of the bed - he had to move around it carefully at night.
If you like very firm beds then this is the place. Even my husband, who usually sleeps very well, woke several times in the night trying to get comfortable.
Continental Breakfast was included, & cooked breakfast extra. Our first breakfast we didn’t realise that we could have the continental and order from the cooked. As it was we booked for a cooked breakfast each day at a reduced rate when we booked, but forgot this when we got to breakfast and the restaurant supervisor didn’t remind us, so we weren’t sure what we were paying for. There wasn’t a breakfast buffet, it was served to the table. Didn’t feel breakfast was good value.
We had dinner in the restaurant 2 nights and it was good.
If we did have need to stay again I’d try a superior room.

Responded 28 Jan 2022
Dear ElaineJJNZ, Thank you choosing to stay with us at Fable Dunedin. Your feedback is important to us and I can understand why you might have felt your room was not suitable for the length of your stay. With our hotel being a listed heritage structure in Dunedin, we were unable to make major changes to its design and hence some rooms could be 'unique' in its shape and design. We do have few other room categories which I'm sure you might prefer for your next stay. In general, we receive great feedback on the quality of sleep and comfort levels experienced by our guests. The credit for this goes to our bed and mattresses, which are of premium grade and sourced from the best international suppliers. Unfortunately this is something that cannot be compromised as differing from the correct standard of structure in the mattress is also a health & safety issue. I'm glad that you've enjoyed your dinner, and have positively shared your concerns to the food & beverage team regarding our breakfast service. I'm sure we can easily address and fix this in time for your next visit. Please feel free to reach out to us directly on fom@fabledunedin.com, and we'll ensure you have a much better experience the next time. Best Regards, Guru & team Fable Dunedin

Mixed bag of a stay. Smartly furnished hotel, generally helpful staff and well positioned in the city centre but badly let down by the penny pinching of a mean spirited management.
We had paid in advance for continetal breakfast throughout our stay; we were appalled to be informed that coffee was not included and we were expected to pay extra for even one cup. I queried whether those setting and pricing the menu had ever breakfasted on the continent and asked this be flagged to the General Manager, Geoffrey Lee. Whether it was or not, he never came back to us! This seemed to reflect the hotel's attiitude. We didn't have a car which was probably just as well as another breakfast guest complained about the hotel's excessive parking charges. The room contained a notice that anything taken from it would be charged to the guest and listed the items. This list even referred to a comb which was never in our room to start with. For two days of our stay, an apologetic note was left in the room stating it had not been cleaned owing to staff sickness. However, there was no mention of any partial refund or a free drink in the bar - or even a free coffee at breakfast!
Room was spacious but window was purposely blacked out and didn't open. Very poor for a hotel of the standard it purports to be.
As for the staff, generally pleasant and helpful as mentioned although the Head Waiter on the one night we ate in the restaurant was so OTT he was offputtingly obsequious.

Fable is a beautifully restored 5-star property in the heart of Dunedin. From the moment I arrived the service from hotel staff was welcoming and efficient. Help with my bags to my room and valet service for my car was highly appreciated. The rooms are designed with quirk and high attention to detail. Bed comfort levels 11/10! I opted to upgrade my breakfast in the morning – note: a continental style breakfast was included in my room price – but for an additional $18 I upgraded to an a la carte offering of sausage grill. It was superb and set me up perfectly for the day ahead.
Thank you for a wonderful stay, Fable Dunedin. I look forward to returning very soon.
