"Loved this property. Convenient location, very well designed rooms, excellent WiFi strength,helpful staff. Each room has a full kitchen, a dishwasher and washer dryer. Loved thst the crockery was Corelle - so easy to use. One complaint - the cooking utensils are all steel ans prone to burning food. A shout out to the housekeeping staff - very thorough and they used their common sense. One of the rare hotels where the housekeeping staff understood how we liked things and they kept it that way."

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic room - the jacuzzi & bathroom layout, in the junior suite, was the best I've experienced for the price point. The room was thoughtfully laid out in general. Fable is well located & we loved the view. The only things we could fault are light entering around the sides of the bedroom curtain & noise from TVs in other rooms being audible. If you're a light sleeper, it might not be for you."

Today was good as not a lot of people left as it's a Monday plus housekeeping came later. The room is nice and modern with balcony we like it. Location is very good just walking distance to museums, art gallery, shops and restaurants (Riverside market) etc. Reception were good too as well as breakfast just basic continental and bacon eggs but good enough for the price."
