The Fable Dunedin was in a great location. We were able to walk downtown and to museums and the farmers market. Our room had two windows which were up high which we couldn't look out. But we spent most of the day on tours or walking around so this was not an issue. The restaurant was very good. We had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant.

From the moment I checked in until checkout, the experience here was impeccable. I was greeted with a delicious ice-tea during check in, which was lovely on a very hot day. Explained how to find my room, and check-in was fast. I had prebooked both parking and dinner at the restaurant (which is a must if you want to get either). Dinner was exceptional, the wine paring recommendation was perfect. The room was clean and fresh, the bathroom was spotless and the amenities were great. The staff at this hotel really do make this THE place to stay. A little bit of a quirky hotel, but this is truly Dunedin.

Comfortable bed, nice lighting and well appointed room. Very professional staff throughout and check in and check out was easy. Onsite valet parking, which was very convenient. We had two meals in the hotel restaurant- and while breakfast was fab, our dinner was a bit disappointing. No hotel gym or spa. Overall a good place to stay, if a bit pricey compared to some other similar options.

Very friendly check in. We had a car and they provided a good valet service. Helped us with our luggage up to the room. The room was nicely furnished as a classic room it was of an adequate size. We stayed 2 nights and had dinner there on the second night. It was beautifully presented and really nice ambiance in the restaurant.
