Cancelled 10 days prior to our flight! I booked a week at SACO Broad Quay in Bristol for our wedding anniversary, flying in from abroad where we live. Two weeks prior to our flight I received an email saying the apartments were closing permanently due to structural issues. I was offered no alternative accommodation or a refund and spent all weekend (Bank holiday for the Queens funeral) on the phone trying to get a refund from Hotels.com and SACO. I eventually received a full refund but then had to find alternative accommodation which with less than 2 weeks notice was not only stressful but more expensive. This trip was booked as our friends are coming to see us in Greece for a week and we are flying back with them and they are dropping us off in Bristol on their way back home. It also happens to be our anniversary that weekend so the whole experience was stressing me out as it ties up with other people not just us. SACO should have a process of contacting people to cancel and offering alternative accommodation or a refund. It’s not rocket science it’s simple admin.

The staff on front desk made our trip The staff on front desk were warm and welcoming, but really surpassed all expectations in the most surprising of ways. When out for lunch we spotted Nathan from the front desk. We were told he’d picked up the tab and settled our bill! I’d expected a soulless city hotel experience, but we felt like family. The kids and I were over the moon and will never forget such a kind gesture. In terms of the hotel experience, we couldn’t fault it. Everything you could imagine you’d need, you’ll find in your apartment. I want to book in the next stay immediately.

Perfect apartment very welcoming… Stayed overnight booked the secure parking which was amazing s no long walk to my car greeted at reception person on reception could not have been more helpful the apartment stayed in was lovely very spacious modern it was perfect for what we wanted it could of housed 4 people but only 2 of us lovely nice hot shower near to town and attractions will be staying again soon

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.

Clean but improvements needed Clean, well placed apartment in Bristol. Easy to check in. Comfortable bed and bedding. Unfortunately there was an overwhelming smell of drains in the bathroom which permeated the whole apartment. This was there from the moment we checked in, so it must have been noticeable for a while, but it was only when we phoned to report it that action was taken. However a plumber was sent round immediately and the issue was fixed. I would also add: no kitchen J cloths/ sponge or even kitchen towel. No cafetière for morning coffee (there were two coffee bags, but we had brought ground coffee for the rest of our stay and had to improvise!). No shelf at all in the bathroom, so all toiletries had to be put on the floor. Small improvements would make a big difference! Thanks
