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.

Property has cracks all around the roof etc look ancient, no toilet paper provided for a broken toilet that constantly stank of sewage, shower no matter what you do soaks the entire bathroom, Property has basically no stock IE, no extra blankets or pillows etc, if your cold like us you’ve got to deal with it as heating doesn’t even work, only plus is it had a nice cold fan.

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

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 ☺️

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

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.

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

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.
