GBReally saved the day! We were having a nightmare of a day when our apartment got cancelled last minute. A friend recommended SACO and we managed to get a booking at the Holborn branch. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Nathan, Andreea, Kamila and Theron really made sure everything was perfect with our stay. The apartment was beautiful. The price very affordable and the service was excellent. Nathan even kindly upgraded us for free which just topped off our day. Will definitely be staying again. 10/10

GBSACO 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.

GBSACO 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.

GBTHE WORST ACCOMODATION THAT I HAVE STAYED IN IN MY 52 YEARS I visited the South West for a long weekend and stayed in Bristol in a beautiful apartment in Clifton Village. On the last day, Sunday which was Mothering Sunday I checked into SACO Bath to see my son. I was given room 7 which annexed the hotel. From check in to check out the noise was unbearable. I was unsure what the noise was it sounded like a lift crashing so called the Night Duty Security three time, on the last call he admitted that the noise was coming from the traffic on the road. I looked outside of the window in the morning and was in shock. The windows were filthy and had bars attached. This room was like a prison cell. Behind the window was a tunnel which was just below the road. Everytime a car/van/lorry drove over this spot it would make this almighty noise each time. This continued from check in to check out. Adjoining the said room 7 is a parking area, by 6.30am this was filled with lorries doing their Monday morning deliveries, the first one was a Superdrug delivery. SACO are fully aware that this room is inhabitable yet due to greed try to get away with it as not everyone will complain. I did complaint and was given an instant refund, my view they know of the issues with this room. My suggestion to them was to make this room a store room and do not inconvenience customers. I had to take a nap in the service station on my 4 hour trip back to London, I was shattered having not slept that night. I wouldnt use their apartments again. ive stayed at two different companies and experienced nothing of this nature.

GBAbsolutely appalling behaviour I stayed at the property for a work event on the sunday and self checked in Saturday evening... Property manager was rude and aggressive telling me he works door security and demanded to see how many guest where staying in my room, he came within a foot of me and when I went to show George to prove there was only 2 people staying, he pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked my door, walked ahead of me and started taking pictures of my room. He also entered a room of girls uninvited and started shouting at them about "no party's" Booking.com tried to contact the property and no-one was available. I spent over 2 hours on the phone trying to relocate because the young girls felt unsafe. I will NEVER use these apartments again There main priority is intimidation and not the guests comfort Booking.coms failure to put our safety first lead me to pay another £500 in an alternative hotel who offered us priority check in to make sure we could get out of crane court as quickly as possible. Absolutely appalling
