Fable Christchurch

Hotel

Great location in the centre of Christchurch, within walking distance of sights, restaurants, parks and shopping.

Convenient location for touring Christchurch at a reasonable cost. Nice clean comfortable rooms with all facilities provided.

Nice elevated room
comfortable beds
wonderful shower and bathroom
we're just going to see how good the breakfast is. This is a Thumbs up Hotel 6/5

Very nice location in the city centre!

Great staff willing to help at all times. Great rooms and facilities.

The staff was very kind and helpful. They went out of their way to be helpful!

Beautiful hotel, spacious rooms, excellent staff, good location.

Although the room was small, the bed was ultra comfy and OMG — just loved the shower after sightseeing. Christchurch is still being rebuilt after the 2011 earthquakes so don’t expect too much. However the area is slowly being built up and you can see the progress will be incredible. Very friendly staff and people in general.

I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. The service was incredible, I felt like royalty. The rooms were just beautiful and the shower was so good. The room service food was delicious. I'm excited to come back.

Nice to stay at but give yourself plenty of time if you are relying on the elevators to get you up and down the building. The bar provides quite a relaxed setting as well probably because of the good staff working there.

Good place to stay. Modern, clean facilities. Well situated. Very suitable for business travel.

My stay at Rendezvous was fantastic. It's in the centee of everything so everything is easy to walk to. The rates are very affordable, and the room was fantastic! Really enjoyed the in-room hot tub! Pros: Central Affordable In-room hot tub Large shower Only con that comes to mind is that there is no accessible free parking. The valet is not much more expensive than the public lot, though. Barely worth mentioning. Fantastic hotel! Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay! We were here for the marathon and loved the little extra touches like the bottle of Powerade and the warm welcoming greetings at the front desk. The front desk staff were also very helpful. Our room had a great view. The best service we have had in ages!

Room fine, restaurant needs some work. If you cant cook a burger without it being dry and well done… dont cook burgers. So; Faisal the GM spent time and made great effort to keep me from being grumpy. Good work and great customer service.

We've stayed here on numerous occasions and have always been impressed. Great central location, lovely restaurant and amazing staff.

Nice hotel. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed with a large tour group at the time I was in reception. Room was good. View was ok but the windows were to filthy for decent photos during the day.

Great location. Exceptional Service. Good food.
We stayed here for 2 nights and the room was a good size and very clean and tidy. Housekeeping were wonderful! The staff in the restaurant and at the front desk were happy and very helpful. They even helped to suprise my partner with a birthday treat or two! We have stayed at a few hotels throughout our South Island Holiday and this by far has been the best in terms of location, customer service, Wi-Fi access and quality of food!

Nice hotel in Christchurch, NZ. It was actually the best hotel that we’ve been to in our 9 days tour of NZ from Auckland to Rotorua then to Queenstown and last but not the least Christchurch. The night shift front desk manager was very good. I learned that he was a Filipino in the name of Lowell Manangon. Our pack breakfast was ready on time, at 3 am. I will recommend this hotel.

This hotel is the best ever. Staff help you with all your needs clean. Food is great. Highly recommended. Excellent value for money. Try it and see wfi too. Best hotel during our holiday … great.

Such a lovely hotel, staff Are very helpful they cannot do enough for you can’t fault them at all
the food is delicious and I would recommend this hotel for your stay, a short walk away from the town.

Nice and clean. No noise. Had a pleasant stay and would stay here again.

Nice and clean but needs more amenities such as soaps and perhaps 1 free bottled water. Other than that it was all good.

Stayed one night. A bit dated but clean and tidy. Lifts are a nightmare as lots of Coach parties use this hotel, long waits! Breakfast ok. Reasonable location not to far from town centre. Quite a few bars and Restaurants around.

Only go if the lift renovation finished and rooms upgraded. When I was therefore were being updated and the room was very much worse for wear. Bathroom ok as was room service and cleanliness… nether the less I was disappointed.

Well equipped if slightly cramped room. Great location in Central Christcurch. Staff helpful and friendly. Bathroom is spacious. Gave this a 3 rating rather than 4 because the two lifts are slow and inadequate for 15 floors, the fan in the bathroom ran constantly and there was a small ledge into the bathroom that I constantly stubbed my toe on.

Excellent location. Central to most things. Across from Margret Mahi Park. Great pricing. Rooms are nice enough and friendly service.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant very pricey but they do have excellent food. Parking a little pricey as well, as valet is basically the only option. But the room was very clean and comfortable, and the hotel in a decent spot, a little out of the way from the hustle and bustle. Would stay again.

I like to stay here when in Christchurch as it's a good hotel close to restaurants and bars. Very close to Cathedral Square. Rooms are also modern and reasonable size. So why not a higher rating? Well the restaurant is not so good for breakfast and the bar area is cramped. And only two lifts means you can wait a while.

Hotel location is great, not far from many attractions ini Christchurch. The check in was quick and staff was helpful with our bags. Room was nice and functional, although a bit small in size. TV/program could be better as the channels are not in high definition. Elevator can sometimes be slow. There are plenty of public carparks near the hotel, which are cheaper. I would highly recommend Rendezvous hotel for a good stay in Christchurch!

Nice clean hotel in the centre, one of the few remaining high-rises. Great view and great location. The city itself is very manageable and easy to explore on foot or with the classic car tram. The restaurant also makes a very good impression.

Good clean relatively new hotel bang in the middle city centre. Has a business hotel feel about it. Great comfortable beds and crisp sheets. Polite and helpful staff at reception desk, particularly Amy. Unfortunately this doesn't carry through to some of the staff in the restaurant at breakfast time where we experienced quite rude and unhelpful service on Christmas Day! If they can fix this then it would receive a full 5 stars from me.

Poor water pressure in the shower. We had a 13th floor room. Everything else about the hotel met our expectations. They offer valet parking for $25 or pay $12 to park it yourself next door or across the street. Super friendly staff.

The food is rather good and the attractions around the hotel are great. The various monuments left from the earthquake are easily accessible near the hotel via walk.

Clean comfortable rooms with tea making facilities free Wi-Fi very helpful friendly staff. Parking costs $25 per night. Some road closures around the hotel due to rebuilding been carried out in Christchurch.

Six years ago, Christchurch was devasted by an earthquake that took many lives and destroyed countless buildings. The rebuilding has been slow, and there is still much vacant space in the downtown area. The Rendezvous Hotel is located downtown within walking distance of the shops and restaurants that have reopened. Sadly, those are few. The hotel shows that it has fallen on hard times. The rooms are small, worn, and in need of updating. The restaurant is adequate, serves good food, but lacks ambience. The city still has a long way to go. This hotel needs some upgrading if they are to remain competitive.

Clean room but much smaller than advertised. TV was old and outdated. Shower was awesome with good pressure. Amenities were good and restaurant food was really good. Try the roasted carrots. Overall staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great location. Room was very comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Had to stay here for 2 nights. Thought it was a 2 star hotel. The rooms were clean, staff friendly. The lift was not working and has not for quite some time. So only one slow lift for multiple floors. This presents a huge fire risk. How are they able to transport disabled? In case of emergency? Not a place that I would stay at again.

Nice hotel, well situated, lots of great places for food within staggering distance. Free Wi-Fi Cafe etc Pay parking, but cheaper or free parking is near by Two gripes. 1) one of the tallest buildings on Christchurch (due to Mother Nature). But no observation areas except the room you are in. 2) lifts. Only 2 lifts, for a 20+ floor building, and one lift is under maintenance, so the other is used by residents, house keeping and guests.

The location is great, room is clean and quiet. The bathroom is clean and modern. Staffs are very friendly and polite. Public parking lots and nearby if you are driving. The lift was under some major upgrade while we stayed there, so there was only one lift that was working in the whole hotel. The hotel is within walking distance to New Regent Street Precinct and Chrishchurch Trams.

Great hotel in a nice central location. It's within walking distance of all main Christchurcg attractions and directly opposite the lovely new Regent St with many cool bars and restaurants. Rooms were neat, tidy and well maintained. Free Wi-Fi is an added bonus.

Wow what a great experience. We had the unfortunate situation of having our flight diverted and were put up for the night at Rendezvous by our airline. It was obviously not the best of situations but Rendezvous really went above and beyond to help us and make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The reception staff were exceptional, we were obviously not in the best of moods the next morning when having to chase airlines for flights but they were so helpful and let us use the phone, gave us advice, looked up info, called taxi etc. That really stopped a bad situation from getting to a break down point! Rooms themselves were lovely. Bed comfy, plenty of plugs next to night stand, comfy back boars in bed to lean on, air con easy to use, and my favourite: big tumblers! I really hate standard hotel tiny glasses, and always have to get up in the middle of the night to refill so big thanks for that. Bathroom great with a powerful shower, big mirror that didn't steam up, pretty reasonable hair-dryer. Only complaint was I didn't like the TV software, felt very dated compared to the very modern hotel, but it worked so not a big downer, just felt a bit jarring next to the standard of everything else. Our room was a bit small but didn't feel overly tiny at all, pretty standard hotel size. Our view wasn't great, but the whole of Christchurch wasn't pretty in the storms anyway. Restaurant was nice, lovely food. Bar area was cosy with the fires.

Very pleasant although the lifts broke down. Were soon sorted. Returned early afternoon and my room had not been serviced. By which time I placed a DND sign on my door. Reception and other staff were always helpful and pleasant. Yes, I would stay again. Good location.

Ventrally located with great eateries all around. Tram stops right nxt door. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would stay here again for sure.

Very nice spacious rooms. Staff were so helpful. Fantastic position for walking around Christchurch. Chic area. Good shops and restuarants all around the hotel. The tram stops right outside the door. The fantastic Issac Theatre Royal opposite how could we ask for more. Breakfast and staff was the best of all the hotels we stayed in over 4 weeks.

Rooms are very small. The very definition of compact! Clean and comfortable though. When we stayed only one lift was working and it was constantly in use, on some occasions we waited over 5 minutes for the lift. The on-site restaurants is moderately expensive but the food is quite good. Location is great.

We had a pleasant stay there. One star missing because of the not so good break fast and the very very soft mattresses.

Absolutely best price for one of the best rooms in the hotel, also the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a shame it was raining the whole time we stayed. Would have been good if the windows were cleaner, and the view was better.

Friendly staff. Tidy, comfortable rooms. The elevators are very slow so make sure you allow extra time for getting up to your room. I found using the stairs more efficient even though I was on the tenth floor. I accidentally left some belongings in the room and the staff were very helpful in locating the items and sending them to me at my next location.

Well kept and modern rooms, but low-key and small. Probably too expensive for what they're offering. Free Wi-Fi, good food options around.

OK price on the high side for rooms that are small. Great coffee shop just across the road for breakfast.

Average hotel but the bed in the room I stayed in had springs all but popping through the mattress. A colleague stayed at the Novotel down the street and had a much better experience overall.

Really nice hotel. Small but comfortable, modern rooms. Friendly staff. Free Wi-Fi. Good location.

Was stunned at the price for staying at what is simply a normal motel — was over $200 so was expecting something amazing, not a regular $130ish motel. No bikkies with the tea and coffee, thin towels, plastic remote for the tv… service was ok but not somewhere that I will stay at again simply because of price.

Hotel was nice, staff very friendly and the restaurant especially so, food was awesome and bar handy. However the administration is a shambles. Firstly they took our credit card to run up expenses which is common and I have no problem with this. The problem is they debited money straight away without telling me (a kind of bond if you like). I happened to book two rooms so this was done twice. Thinking that I didn't have much money halfway through my stay and had a bill to pay at the end, I cancelled going out for the night with friends. Finding out at checkout that they had debited $250.00 I had actually plenty of money left to go out after all. Three days later and I still haven't had the money back. They say it is standard policy, but I've never come across it before. I will not bother booking another room. Also I had vouchers for this hotel prepaid with extra deals involved, it would help if the staff understood these if the hotel actually wants to promote themselves through those type of channels.

Pleasant close to cricket ground cbd.

We had a perfectly nice stay here at the hotel. The staff was friendly from start to finish, always helpful and accommodating. An employee of theirs named Clark helped us many times during the stay and always with a smile on his face, so truly we have only nice things to say about all of the personnel. The only reason this is getting a 3-star review is that the rooms are simply. Underwhelming. Or "tired" for a lack of better word. Our room was possibly one of the best views on the hotel, on the 15th floor and a view of much of Central Christchurch. It's certainly not the hotel's fault that there isn't much to see in Christchurch from the view, as the city is in the rebuilding stage from their devastating earthquakes a few years back. But the room was simply small, we had to squeeze to get by our own luggage, the bed was too soft and woke each other up each time we turned over or got out of bed. And there was nothing particularly special about the room, just very. Average. Considering this was our honeymoon, literally every other place we went to gave us either a free bottle of wine, a bigger room, something to make things special. I'm not sure they did anything for us, it may be that they gave us this "great" view for that very reason, but if this was their best room then that's kind of sad, considering we've stayed at far cheaper hotels throughout our trip and this was the only one so far we were happy to leave.

The service was great, the kitchen food is excellent, it was so good that we ended up dining in most nights as it was great. The rooms are warm and quiet, lots of power points at the desk for charging "the goods", the plumbing was excellent in the bathroom. Everything was just new and fresh. For a business trip this hotel is great, (maybe not a romantic get away place, ) great location. You can pay more and get a nicer hotel but money for jam this place is great.

I just stayed in your Rendezvous Hotel in Christchurch NZ. The staff were very nice. But told me they weren't allowed to open the balcony door. They also told me they weren't allowed to reset the TV so I could watch my own movies. Also the Air conditioning is set on a timer to turn off every 8 hours or at noon. It wasn't nice waking up to a boiling hot room covered in sweat on my only day off to sleep. The Shower had 2 flow regulators installed reducing the shower to what might be called a fine mist. If the owners want to be this cheap then maybe they should manage a McDonalds. Won't be coming back. To write this review going on the website I did notice that the Hotel is in Fact cheap (only $129 a night, I don't book my hotels) so if you bring a wrench for the shower and a 17" laptop you'll be fine.

This is a great hotel. I stayed here for five nights with the whole family. They took good care of us and everything went smoothly. The only strange bit for a very modern hotel was there was no Wi-Fi in the rooms (you had to be hardwired by ethernet). Maybe that will change in the future. Overall, that is a very minor complaint. Everything else was cool. The food was good and the staff was professional and nice.

From the moment we walked in their front doors to the moment we checked out, this hotel was amazing. Nothing was too much bother for the staff, a great team working well together. The rooms are on the small side, but hey who goes on holiday to sit in their room. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the views from our room (once the weather cleared) were outstanding, we truly could see for miles. If you fancy trying the in room dining, do not hesitate the food is of a high standard and the taste and presentation is top class. The hotel is just a moments walk from Cathedral Square and an abundance of great place to have a drink and something to eat. We will be recommending The Marque to friends and family and we will most definitely be staying there again.
