Check In was superb, my bags were carried up the stairs to my room - the rooms are on split levels so the lift does not necessarily land on the same level as your room. Room was quiet and warm Staff are helpful and accomodating.

The hotel is lovely but many of the original features were obscured by modernist decor. Also given the cost of the accommodation the prices for minibar and other features were very high and not conducive to making one feel at home.

I really liked the hotel but we always have room to complain don’t we? Two complaints and neither fixable: first one, we had 3 very tiny windows with opaque glass. The windows were up high and we sort of felt imprisoned. Luckily we don’t spend too much time in our room. Secondly, and this ‘complaint’ refers to many hotel chains who have refurbished the insides: showers that only have partial glass. Inevitably water sprays out even when not putting the pressure on high and the floor and even towels get sprayed….annoying. But would I stay at this Fable Hotel again, yes. It was very nicely updated in so many ways while maintaining character. And the staff were warm, welcoming and professional
