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.

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.

The Nicol is a great place to stay. Very good gym, good breakfast, helpful staff. Get an apartment as it's worth the extra expense.

The location/access from airport was good. the staff all very pleasant but the room unfortunately was a bit cramped - plenty cupboard space but the sleeping area could be better.corridor room and roman blind not working so a battle to get natural ventilation. I was there on business with other people and some complained of very noicey room(facing a main road) no spare toilet roll in the room and no tissues either. Tv screen not clear and remote not working. intercom to the reception also not working

Great service and location
The first room I was given did not meet my expectations, but the staff and management were great, and I was moved as soon as another room became available- they bent over backwards to make sure I was happy. Will definitely use this centrally located hotel again.

Overall, it's fine. The beds are too soft and the air conditioner keeps turning itself off randomly, making for uncomfortable sleeping conditions. It also needs better blackout drapes, as you are up with the sunrise. The complimentary breakfast is good, with good services. It should offer free WiFi in the rooms. The staff was friendly and provided good service.
