The Nicol is close to my offices in SA, so location was key. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the apartment-style rooms are. Much better than staying in a typical hotel room. But the best part of The Nicol is the staff! Super friendly, super professional. This is the main reason I will be back.

Great staff and in a great location. We stayed for 7 nights and wish we’d had an apartment rather than a room. The room was dark but spacious.

This property is beautiful, clean and the entire staff from the maids to the front desk and restaurant are all 4 stars! So professional. Staff is always cleaning and beautifying the property. So polite and I did not witness any attitudes. This is my new go to when staying in Johannesburg. Management is down to earth and eager to please. This is what I am used to in the states. They are tops!

We booked and paid for four nights (non-refundable). Stayed one. We had booked a King non-smoking room but were given a smoky, stinky double room, where my feet were off the edge of the bed. A truly uncomfortable night. Check-in claimed that I had callled earlier to request an upgrade to a suite, which I clearly had not and hence did not have my King room available and that we needed to pay for the upgrade. Long story short, we fled first thing and paid again for another hotel. BEWARE!!

Stay away.

This is possibly the worst experience I've had at a hotel. I had to move rooms 3 times. The first room had a massive leak from the ceiling then the second did not have properly working lights. By the 3rd attempt i was so tired i simply accepted my fate.

nice apartment hotel but inconsistent with heating, asking for help and queries. the heating is a bit weird, and there aren't always kitchen items like pots/pans, depending on the apartment. same goes for washing/drying machines depending on the apartment. very nice, modern apartment though with parking and close to a lot of restaurants.

Great hotel in Befordview!

The hotel was comfortable and the staff were very friendly. However, the heating system didn't seem to be working very well. The hotel is closeby lots of restaurants and shops, which makes the location very convenient. Unfortunately, guests have to pay extra for in-room wifi.
