I liked the layout of the apartment, although one bedroom was a bit small with nowhere to hang or store clothes. It is great for a short or long term stay. Conveniently located for driving, using the bus or train for transport

Excellent place and lovely people

This was my 2nd stay at SACO in Reading and it won't be my last one. The place is in a lovely quiet area with free parking. Ricky, who was there to greet us was extremely helpful and even upgraded us to a better apartment! I would highly recommend

Clean apartment . Didn't communicate with staff . Sunny and spacious but must add lighting ( I had to buy a lamp to add some light at night ) . The dishwasher is not functional - it stained all the glasses and plates. The bed comfortable .

Great flat, plenty of space for solo or family

Great location for teaching at Reading University or Royal Berkshire Hospital. Flat was really spacious with all amenities that you would require. Bed was really comfy and fans provided as it was hot. It was quite noisy being on the ground floor flat, you could hear people on the stairs and when the front door shut.

This is an apartment, cleaned before arrival and after leaving. Management are on site to assist with any issues, for example they helped me move items from the top shelves in the kitchen to lower shelves. The location is close to town. However, the nearest supermarket is about a 10 minute walk away. Great place. I’d stay here again.

The bed was insane! I can’t remember the last time I slept for 8 hours straight for 2 nights on the bounce, not just me the hubby said the same, very comfortable 2 days stay. Ricky was amazing even before check in, contacted us the morning of arrival and allowed us to park our car up a couple of hours George we even checked in, very kind ☺️ we can’t fault the place it was very convenient for us visiting my poorly mam who lives 5 minutes away. Thanks guys we will be booking again for September ☺️

Helpful staff let down by a dilapidated property. These apartments are in no way close to the standard of the photos in their listing. Burned and stained carpet, chipped work surfaces, grotty shower, broken items, squeaky floors, broken furniture. In fairness, the bed were comfortable and decent water pressure.

Place was clean. Close to transportation and shopping. Dishwasher failed after first week and not repaired by the end of the fourth week. Upstairs was loud with loud cracking floors.

Pretty good all round - clean, nicely appointed and comfortable but with one major flaw. The boiler works away all night and with a late night and then an early rise the next day was a little disappointing and made sleeping soundly very difficult. 9/10 with the exception of the boiler noise

6/10 Okay

Liked: Communication
The overall accommodation was alright, we stayed in a two-room and two-bathroom unit. The bedding in the master bedroom was a bit dusty, with some small black spots on it. The reception staff did follow up, but since we arrived quite late, we changed the sheets ourselves. The overall cleanliness was average, the master bathroom was poorly designed, with the entire floor getting wet after showering. The smaller room was relatively cleaner, but there were no available power outlets, so it was not very convenient. We cooked in the unit, so we consumed some of the dishwasher detergent. On the third day, we went to the reception to ask for more, and they said that a welcome pack was provided upon check-in, and if we needed additional items, we would have to pay for them. But it was strange that there was a notice in the unit saying that we could ask the reception for more supplies if needed. We were not quite sure if we could just request more items when necessary. We stayed for 5 nights, and they said that cleaning would only be done after a week-long stay, so the basic cleaning was done by the guests themselves. Overall, the experience was average. The reception staff were friendly, and there was free parking available. The overall cleanliness could be improved.
