Why Choose a Serviced Apartment for Your Next Business Trip or Holiday?

It’s why serviced apartments are an ideal option for every kind of traveller. Here are, in our opinion, the reasons why you should choose a serviced apartment for your next stay:

What Sets a Serviced Apartment Apart from Other Options?

All the Space You Need

Unlike a cramped hotel room, serviced apartments provide a generous living space with room to relax, entertain and work. Celador Apartments include a kitchen, living room, bedroom and often an ensuite, from studio-sized apartments, up to three bedrooms. With a fully equipped kitchen, and some apartments featuring a dedicated office, you really can feel at home in your new space, in a way that just wouldn't be possible in a hotel.

The additional space makes a big difference, particularly for longer stays or family trips. Rather than being confined to sitting on a bed as your only option, you can spread out across multiple rooms, maintaining personal space and privacy. This separation between living and sleeping areas helps create a better work-life balance for business travellers and allows families to maintain normal routines, with children able to sleep while adults enjoy evening relaxation without disturbing them.

Our Guests Love Our Personalised Experience

Staying in a serviced apartment is an experience like no other, providing you with a customised service from start to finish that cannot be achieved in a standard hotel.



With 24-hour personal check-in, regardless of your arrival time, our dedicated Guest Services Manager, Levi, will meet you and show you around your new apartment. During your stay, Levi will be on hand to assist you in any way possible. The personal touches don't stop there, as we create a welcome pack bespoke to each guest, filled with essentials and a few treats.

We pride ourselves on this attention to detail which creates a sense of being valued and recognised rather than just another room number. For business travellers, we can arrange early check-ins after overnight flights or late check-outs to accommodate meeting schedules – flexibility that's rarely available in traditional hotels with their rigid 2pm check-in and 10am check-out policies.

The Best Housekeeping Service

Many opt for a hotel room because they want to have an element of service included while they are out for the day, such as the bed being made and fresh towels delivered. Celador Apartments provides our guests with the best housekeeping experience while allowing them to enjoy the benefits of being in a home-from-home apartment. Our trusted and professional housekeeping team will clean your apartment and provide you with fresh towels and bed linen on a weekly basis.

Unlike hotels with their daily intrusions, our weekly service strikes the perfect balance between maintaining cleanliness and respecting your privacy. Our housekeeping standards match those of premium hotels, with professional staff trained to the highest levels of cleanliness and attention to detail.

We Are Your 'Home Away From Home'

With a large, accommodating living space and a five-star personalised service, staying with Celador Apartments provides a unique home-from-home feeling, that cannot be emulated staying in a hotel. We want you to feel at home from the moment you arrive, helping you to quickly settle in and relax. With added privacy and all the amenities you require for cooking, washing and living, it is easy to relax in your new surroundings and feel right at home.

This home-like atmosphere extends to practical benefits that significantly enhance longer stays. The fully-equipped kitchens allow you to prepare meals according to your dietary preferences or restrictions, providing a welcome break from restaurant dining. Having washing machines in the apartments means you can pack lighter and maintain fresh clothing without expensive hotel laundry services. For families, these amenities transform a trip from a potentially stressful experience to one where normal routines can be maintained, which is particularly important for young children or those with specific needs.

We Are Centrally Located

Celador Apartments are centrally located in Reading, the largest town in the UK, with everything from shopping, restaurants and historical sites to visit. Many leading national companies and UK headquarters for major multinationals such as PepsiCo, Oracle, Microsoft, Verizon, Nokia and Ericsson are all situated in Reading, making Celador Apartments the ideal stay for business travellers. Plus, Reading is only 30 minutes from London by train while also providing easy and convenient international access to Heathrow airport via the M4 motorway.

All of our apartments are close to Reading Station and benefit from on-site allocated parking, meaning you don't need to worry about how you will get from A to B, and can instead focus your time on enjoying your stay.

Cost-Effective for Longer Stays

One often overlooked benefit of serviced apartments is their cost-effectiveness, particularly for extended stays. The fully-equipped kitchen allows guests to prepare their own meals rather than relying on expensive restaurant dining for every meal. For a family of four or a business traveller staying for a week or more, this can represent significant savings. Additionally, having laundry facilities in the apartment eliminates costly hotel laundry services, allowing guests to easily maintain clean clothing without premium charges.

For business travellers, the dedicated workspace in many of our apartments means no additional cost for co-working spaces or meeting rooms. Corporate guests appreciate the ability to host small meetings in the comfort of their apartment rather than paying for external facilities.

Your Privacy and Security is Paramount

Serviced apartments offer enhanced privacy compared to hotels, with no shared corridors leading to hundreds of rooms. Our apartment buildings typically house fewer units than hotels, resulting in a more exclusive, quiet environment. This reduced footfall brings security benefits, with fewer strangers accessing the building.

All Celador Apartments’ homes feature secure entry systems, and our 24-hour personal check-in process ensures that every guest is personally verified and welcomed. For those travelling with valuable items or who simply value their privacy, this additional security provides welcome peace of mind.
