SACO fails in multiple ways I booked a SACO apartment in Cardiff through Expedia in mid-November 2023 for a stay on 7-11 March 2024. On 15 February, 2024, I received a message that the booking had been cancelled due to "overbooking." This prompted me to ask how was I able to book it in November but four months later it's "overbooked." I logged into the SACO AI concierge, or maybe it shifted to a human concierge at some point. Who can tell? The SACO rep told me it was an overbooking issue. Then it was a "maintenance" issue. Which is it, I asked? Overbooking due to maintenance, I was told. So they know in mid-February that the property won't be repaired by early-March? And/or they've overbooked. I learned my lesson: don't count on SACO for lodgings or a straight answer.

With the ongoing coronavirus epidemic I… With the ongoing coronavirus epidemic I tried to cancel my booking with Saco Aparthotel Farnborough even though I was aware that had a non-refundable stay booked. Thinking they would be sympathetic about my situation, 12 week isolation, no job, no money coming in, all that I received was a curt message from an online advisor saying they had to stick to the no refund policy. Disgusting when I have seen small hotels waiving the no refund policy and giving full refund. Not good enough from a 'supposedly' award winning business. Shame on you.

Grossly misleading rates Tried to book an apartment through the webpage sacoapartments.com. The experience was ridiculously bad. The rate published (after entering the actual dates) did not match at all with the actual offer - it was almost double the published price. STAY AWAY.

SACO Apartments Farnborough (Victoria Road) Friendly, welcoming staff who are always happy to help and it's reception is staffed 24/7. The rooms are fantastic, I've stayed in the studio apartments and the 1 bedroom apartments and both were spacious, with a contemporary design and very clean. The apartments have big comfortable beds, large LCD TV, lovely bathroom and (most importantly, for me at least) a full kitchen with fitted fridge, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave etc. Much better rooms than any of the standard hotel chains and for the same money. I would highly recommend staying here. Btw...I also saw air conditioning being installed, starting with the 3rd and 4th floor and working it's way down I believe.
