This property was exactly what we needed after several weeks of safari. The apartments allowed us to make our own breakfast and lunch, and there were many different dinner options around in the area. Rooftop pool was lovely and had a great view of the city.

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

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.

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.

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   .

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
