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

23 May 2022

While hotels have long been the favoured accommodation option, families and business travellers are starting to turn more and more to serviced apartment accommodation.

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:

Space

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 ensuite, from studio-sized apartments, up to 3 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. 

A 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.

The Best Housekeeping


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 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. 

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. 

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.
