Fable Auckland, MGallery

Great location! As per previous reviews this is a night club area. If you are there between Sunday and Wednesday no problem, all clubs are closed, so was quiet. Was as expected. Great boutique hotel! Staff were very helpful. Remember age does not agree with wall thickness on old hotels for loud guests, as most tourists appear to be nowadays.

It is average hotel. You don’t get the luxury and cozy feel. I think there is a lot missing in this hotel. The only thing I loved was the hotel restaurant. I had my dinner and the presentation and quality of food was excellent. The location of hotel is convenient. So there are pluses and minuses.

Unfortunately very disappointing. Family birthday high tea which had been very much looked forward to. |Beautiful hotel, staff were friendly enough but not overly welcoming or involved. |We didn’t even eat all the food, as some was stale or just stodgy that didn’t taste nice. |Hate leaving a bad review, but I wouldn’t recommend and I wouldn’t return!

We had a great 2 night stay. We had 1 standard room (5th floor) and 1 suite (8th floor). Now the lift only goes to level 7 so there was a flight of stairs to level 8 but concierge took my luggage up, also collected it on check out so that was fine. Staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't use any amenities/spa. The location is great, very central. Definitely would stay again.

We are a couple from Hong Kong visiting Auckland for the first time, and we had a great stay. Mark from the concierge was amazing, he speaks fluent Cantonese and gave us tips on where to go, which really helped us make the most of our trip. Thanks so much Mark!||The hotel is in a great spot in the Auckland CBD, super convenient to get around. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting!

Unfortunately, we didn't have the best experience during our stay. Listed below are my very honest reasons; • We were "upgraded" to the executive suite, but the elevator only goes up to level 7, so we had to carry our luggage up the stairs to leve 8. • The spa was out of order and was never mentioned before arrival! Annoying as this was part of the reason we booked here. Never got compensation. • The sauna was booked and when we went to use it, the stones weren't hot yet. Took too long so left. • The rooms are not sound proof so you can hear all the noise from outside (even from the highest level!) • The bathroom had mould and I'm quite sensitive to it, so I got quite annoyed when I seen it. Made sure to make note of it. • The hotel is definitely really old and needs a makeover from the inside out, not just from the outside! • We tried to cancel our second night stay as the first night was very rough, but were told we had to go through a third party to do so. I tried to and couldn't, and the hotel staff couldn't care less to help us. • Parking here is disgustingly expensive ($65 per 24hr) I personally don't think the price was reflective of our stay at all and I would not recommend anybody staying here.

We booked the Junior Suite at The Fable and were left very disappointed. I had read a review from a lady four months ago who mentioned that the spa was out of order with no warning until she tried to book it. Shockingly, four months later, the exact same thing happened to us — the spa is still not working, and there’s still no mention of it until you ask. I did manage to secure a $100 food credit, but it wasn’t really what we wanted, and it doesn’t make up for the letdown. The rooms themselves are quite poor. Bedding felt cheap and itchy, and the bed was small — more like a queen than what’s expected at this level. The design and layout of the rooms are odd, was crooked lamp, and while they can go for a cheaper rate during quiet periods, on busy days you’ll end up paying prices similar to the QT, SO. The difference is that QT is far superior: cleaner, more modern, and overall a much better experience. To make matters worse, we couldn’t even connect to the WiFi, and staff mentioned they’ve been having ongoing problems with it. We couldn’t even watch Netflix or browse internet. Another letdown on top of everything else. Overall, The Fable feels like it’s gone downhill, and it was a very disappointing stay. They need to downgrade to a 2 or 3 star as a hotel they are not a 5 star. I always stay in 5 star hotels this is the worst one. It’s like a motel. I wish we could have some kind of refund.

A lovely night in the beautiful Fables. Mark the concierge was so helpful and accommodating with our car and bags. Highly recommend the full breakfast, and also the halloumi croissant. Nice and central for a show and dinner on the waterfront. Thanks!
