I had a wonderful stay at Fable Dunedin. The staff were welcoming, helpful and kind. I pre-booked the valet car parking service which made travel very convenient. The facilities are beautiful and the room is stunning. I booked just the Classic room but it exceeded expectations in cleanliness, amenities and style. I would love to stay again.

Always stay here during my travel for work. It’s quality in all areas and nice and quiet after a long drive. My only query is around the lucky dip on the size of the room you get. I’ve been in both options and the smaller room is quite small compared to the rest. Maybe there is options within the room rate perhaps

Nice hotel, found my room a bit on the chilly side. The restaurant is nice but a little expensive for what you get portions very small. Staff at reception very nice. The room is very much on a lean uneven floor. Nice bathroom. Very comfy bed
