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.

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.

Untrustworthy In January 2023 my partner booked a two bedroom apartment at the SACO Cardiff for two nights for the 26th and 27th of May 2023 at a cost of £465. This was overnight accommodation for our wedding celebrations held nearby. A point the establishment were aware of. On the 05/05/2023 (three weeks before the wedding) my partner received a standard email via booking.com advising us our accommodation had been cancelled as SACO Cardiff had double booked.No further explanation was offered. I made contact with SACO Cardiff on the 06/05/2023 for further information and was advised the booking had been cancelled by head office, as they had another guest who wanted the accommodation for a long term booking. I was astounded that a supposedly reputable company such as SACO behaves in such a way. Especially when other guests of the wedding were still booked at the accommodation and hadn’t had their reservation cancelled. The only conclusion I can draw from this experience is for guests to be aware when making a reservation , that it isn’t guaranteed. There is no level of trust with this company, who will clearly cancel your stay at short notice, if another person wants to stay longer or offer more money for your apartment.

Worst of the worst I booked a room, which was a non-refundable purchase. Fair. But upon booking, the hotel requested a security deposit of £500 which was not mentioned anywhere before the booking. Then you wouldn't believe it, when I arrived to check-in to pay for my security deposit, their card machine was showing error 6 times, nothing showed up on my bank's side, I even contacted my bank and there was no pertaining issues with my card. The hotel's receptionists were being so unhelpful and had a stink attitude and would not accept any other ways of payment for the security deposit. So in the end I lost my booking and they won't issue me a refund.They won't even try compensate me for the loss when the issue was entirely out of my hands. Fraudulent service that I would not recommend to anyone

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.
