Excllent 3 nights' stay

Great space. Very comfortable stay.

The feeling of home, while away.

A great find that replicated the feeling of home while away. Large comfortable bedrooms with multiple full bathrooms and a fully furnished kitchen. Access to a good gym, so good a colleague at another hotel sought to use it for its squat rack. Great location with access to Westgate Shopping, several business partners, local food and shopping of the upmarket and down market varieties. The staff was consistently on-point with quick service and pre=preemptive supports.

Condos not Hotel

This is NOT an hotel. They rent/sell apartments and have some services an hotel would have. Restaurant is a separate entity which they are not clear about. (I had to pay every single breakfast and every meal if I wanted to have them on site). Also comunication with the receptions is unusually challenging. They made every usual hotel service (airport transfer, invoicing, concierge etc...) incredibly slow. I.e. After they offered to pick me up from the airport and several confirmations emails I still found myself alone at the airport. I dont believe they can be considered an hotel but rather a condo association.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff and the place itself is amazing as always. The pool the workout center, the slate restaurant the store and the chocolate shop are all fantastic But the owners don’t really put things that need to be used in their rental apartments. Again, they are missing simple things like a kitchen cloth to wipe up spills or paper towel towels, at least coffee maker. I guess you could boil some water for tea in a pan or pot no washcloths in either bathroom. Other than the amenities that are missing, it is always a great place to stay

Decent place to stay

Lovely room with unfortunately a number of maintenance issues and an unclean room in parts. Lovely, super responsive staff and a place that felt very safe with good services in the building incl. great pool and gym
Hery, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

All rooms are owned by different people, this one had no paper towels, no dish clothes, no wine opener, no coffee maker, no tea pot to boil water, no wine glasses, no paper or pen…. Missing a lot of things needed everyday. The front desk staff is top notch, from helping with a phone call to Vincent using his app for bolt two times to help me get around town.

10/10 Exceptional

Skynest Residences by CityBlue in Nairobi offers fantastic amenities, including a stunning rooftop infinity pool, a modern gym, a sauna, and recreational facilities like a squash court and games room. The apartments are spacious, clean, and come with well-furnished kitchens and balconies, making for a very comfortable stay. However, it can get a bit noisy at times, which may affect light sleepers. Despite this, the overall experience is highly positive, especially with the convenience of being located near major shopping malls and dining options in Westlands   .
Dennis, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My third stay at skynest for business trips to Nairobi. The location is great, westlands is safe and walkable with plenty of shopping, dining, and socializing options nearby. Skynest itself is very secure and has a great little market on the ground floor where you can buy essentials, and a decent restaurant. The front desk staff are great. The rooms are great. You'll find cheaper option, but you won't find better.

Shower floor extremely slippery. Need key to unlock door from inside the room. One key??
James, 1-night trip

There was a power outage after midnight that lasted past checkout time. Poor communication about the outage from the management and no compensation for it. Suites don't provide tissues or slippers as comparable properties do.
Charles, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Centrally situated for easy access to shops and malls . We were notified on our last day that WiFi and internet would be affected and finished by 1900. At 1930 an engineer came to the room to swap the router. He left after 30 mins saying he would be back in 20 mins . He never returned so I went to the front desk and they couldn’t contact anyone . We stayed up until 2300 waiting for the WiFi and tv services to be connected. No one contacted us and no one came back . When we checked out the following morning we had a very sheepish apology but no clarity as to what happened . This was very poor customer service with no communication at all
