Wonderful staff and centrally located
Pros:

The staff were exceptional. I arrived very early in the morning and they were so friendly and accommodating, even getting me ice for the ankle I'd just sprained.

Location was fantastic, very central and with New Regent Street Quarter literally across the road.

Room was comfortable and clean and I enjoyed that they even had robes for guest use in the bathrooms.

We stay here regularly and it meeds our needs.
Pros:

Location is ideal for attending events at Isaac Theatre Royal and the court theatre.

Cons:

Awful smell of fresh paint on our floor level. Decorators were working on nearby rooms from 7.30am, unnecessarily noisy.

Hotel Restaurant was closed for a function and nearby restaurants had no availability. We had to have hotel room service at an extra delivery fee which is rather unfair! Only gave us one set of cutlery for two meals.

Fantastic Fable! Will be back
Pros:

Room was nice with a fantastic view but the main attraction were the staff who (to a person) were all super helpful, professional, helpful and really went the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. The location is also exceptional - right across from New Regent which has great bars, restaurants and boutiques. Would definitely stay here again when next in Chch.

Cons:

Room decor is slightly bland but I'm looking for bad points here. Perfectly pleasant (and view spectacular as previously noted).

Ok -but not what I was expecting.
Pros:

Bed was very comfortable. Staff were excellent and attentive. Great location.

Cons:

Average hotel room -for the price I was expecting it to be more boutique. My room (410 -junior suite) faced an office building with no sheer curtain -so I had to close the blinds to change or close the bathroom door to use the bathroom. Mimibar wasn't topped up during my stay. Couldn't mirror my ipad/computer to TV. The lifts are slow.
