Thank you for the best time we enjoyed at your Apartments. The thing that shone out for us and made it such a good experience was the owner, management and staff. No matter what position they held they were happy, attentive, accommodating and helpful. Nothing was a bother and they tried to make us welcome and comfortable. This created such a great atmosphere throughout our stay. The rooms are more than adequate with everything available that one would need. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. 
Thank you so much!!

Amazing experience

Excellent place! Very clean and comfortable with an excellent breakfast buffet. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel owner is on site and always greeats his guests. They are also very accommodating. I absolutely loved staying here

Excellent

Fabulous friendly service as always, nothing is too much trouble for the team at The Nicol. 

Definitely my go to hotel when in the area. 

Breakfast is delicious and always plenty to eat. 

The setting and location make it convenient to get to and all around Jozi.

Another brilliant stay

We stayed at The Nicol hotel as my son was a swimming a gala near by. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment which was ideal for our needs! The room was clean and very spacious, and it was very convenient to have the lounge and kitchen area. The hotel has a nice atmosphere and having permanent residents living adds to the homely feel. The breakfast were good and the gym is really well equipped. I think what really sets this hotel apart is the staff that work here. Everyone we dealt with (Michelle, Nthando, Randy to name a few) couldn’t do enough to make sure we had a good stay. We will definitely be back! 

Fabulous stay, amazing staff!!

We booked this hotel because of its amazing location. 
We checked in as a family of 6 in 3 rooms but were upgraded to a 3 bedroom apartment instead.  All of us were extremely grateful obviously as we flew to Jhb from all over and booked this hotel for a family event that we were all going to.

All the staff at The Nicol were extremely friendly and polite and ever obliging to guests. 

The rooms were very clean . Our breakfast was delicious . 

All 6 of us would like to thank the management profusely for making our stay so special and comfortable.

I personally recommend this hotel to anybody looking for a great location and amazing service. 

Great Location and amazing service 

We arrived at The Nicol Hotel in Bedfordview after a terrible experience at “The Mercure Hotel in Bedfordview”.  The apartment at The Mercure was terrible from the beginning.  A two bedroom apartment with only two plates, one knife and fork, no pots pans or bowls and then the air conditioner started throwing out ice.  After having to continuously contact reception we got moved to another room and this is where it got worse, One of Mercure regular guests started Revving his car outside our window where the fumes over powered our apartment, I decided to go out and ask him nicely if he would mind not revving his vehicle outside our window, he jumped out of the vehicle and started giving us verbal abuse and when we mentioned to Rexy the manager at The Mercure that we would rather leave than accept this kind of behaviour, she said “Do you mind”, not the kind of response one expects.  Management did not even offer to call the police.  We arrived at the Nicol stressed and upset, the welcome we received was outstanding.  Management found us a room and Wow what an experience, you can not compare these Hotels, accommodation at Mercure old and rooms extremely dark, Nicol fresh up to date, clean and lovely, bright rooms, all cooking and eating facilities clean and available, air conditioner works extremely well.  The ambiance was great and extremely professional staff.  The clientele are of a high standard and you can definitely see why.  I would definitely recommend this hotel for overseas guests.  The website photos are accurate and what you see is what you get

Thank You

We spent a week at the Nicol hotel and apartments in a hotel room. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Their rooms clean, comfortable and practical. Their price included breakfast and if you didn’t have time to sit and eat you could take it away. Will definitely stay here again.

Lovely stay

My mother and I had a lovely stay at the hotel, she had stayed here before with the rest of my family and came back as they thoroughly enjoyed their stay. We booked a single room and it was exactly what we needed, although the cleanliness was somewhat questionable (mould in bathroom, dusty shelves). My uncle who lives close to Bedford View frequently stays here and enjoys it every time. Load shedding is a pain but that is just South Africa right now and the hotel can absolutely not be blamed, they have a generator in main areas, Wi-Fi (which was strong and reliable) stays on even in the rooms, and the staff did their best at putting the load shedding times up on the walls and in the lifts. The Nicol is in a very convenient area, super close to Bedford Center, Eastgate, many great restaurants, and convenient for the airport. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and breakfast did not disappoint. I strongly recommend staying at The Nicol if you’re spending time in Bedford View.

Overall great hotel - would recommend

The establishment is modern and has a good feel all round. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are neat. Breakfast doesn't have much variety, the pool is sparkling and great gym for use. Wifi was a breeze.

Comfortable stay

I have stayed at The Nicol four times on prior busenss trips as it affords me to be in a good location for road conenctivity, well away from the very cheesy over priced hotels adjacent to OR Tambo, and at the same time have The Nicol offers he luxury of suburban Joburg living so I am not a hotel prisoner.

My last trip was for six weeks however I initially booked just one week as I wanted to make sure everything was in good order. From the moment I arrived at the reception I knew I was home, truly delgihtful team who went out of their way to assist.

After one week in a studio flat, the manager recognised that I might be a long term guest and kindly offered to upgrade me to a self contained apartment for no extra cost so that I do not suffer cabin fever, and have a much more enjoyable stay. The manager also warned me that this particular apartment is the cloest to the freeway therefore if you have the windows open you will hear the traffic.

I accepted the managers very kind offer and much to my surprise the apartment was amazing. Fully contained with cooker, dish washer, washing machine, dryer, fridge/freezer, cooking utensils and cutlery. As regards the noise of traffic, I discovered the magic cure very quickly... you close the patio door, draw the curtains at night and also shut the bedroom door.... I planned to keep this magic secret but feel I owe The Nicol gratitude.

During my stay, I was moved to another mid floor apartment and again it was a fully self contained apartment with everything I needed to live a normal life whilst on a long overseas trip.

As a long stay guest the one thing I really appreciated was The Nicol team, everyone always warm in greeting, asking how you are doing and also asking if there is anything you need. I am a low fuss person but truly appreciated the attention and care given by everyone at The Nicol.

I have also read a few of the comments from other guests and as muh as I can understand some of the concerns, it really boils down to communciation. Such as wifi, its free in the lobby area and if you are staying for longer than a weekend then I am certain you can sweet talk the Nicol team into helping you with the wifi password for the room. One thing is for sure, its not worth cancelling a booking just because of wifi, there are loal restaurants 100 meters away that also provide free wifi.

South Africa, as a country, is going through a very difficult period economically and for me it was importnat to spend my money locally also so as to do my bit to support the economy. The Nicol is locally owned and operated however notches above in terms of rooms as well as service. Previously I have stayed at most of the hotels adjacent to OR Tambo however The Nicol will always be my base hereafter.

In summary, fantastic value for money, great location, lovely rooms, wonderful hotel team, safe area with direct access to local restaurants, shops and laundry with ample Uber drivers nearby.
