Skynest Residences by CityBlue Nairobi Westlands

Accommodation (room, living area, toilets) was very comfortable and clean with plenty of lights. Amenities in the building were good (grocery store, cafe, rooftop pool, gym etv).

Quite a lot of leaks when it rained. Slate restaurant's breakfast needs to be richer, with more variety of food.

The location was great for me although there was quite some noise from the night life around the building. But with earplugs I slept really well. I liked the way the apartment was furnished: modern and stylish. I also enjoyed sitting on the balcony. There was a lot of equipment in the kitchen and I was surprised to see a washing machine (which I didn't use though). The entertainment zone and the gym/pool area is cool.

Somehow it smelled of smoke - maybe somebody had smoked in this room or it was from the neighbor. Also in the bedroom I heard every word the neighbor said through the walls. There was a towel missing in the guest bedroom, there were no towels in the kitchen and the bathroom was not very clean. There were also many stains on the sofa and the seat and the furniture looked used.

2nd time staying there and still up to expectations

So the breakfast at the restaurant. It was a bit on the down side.

Location was great. Residence was spacious. Rooftop was beautiful. General ambience of the building was good and clean.

Breakfast was subpar. The toast was nauseating as it was "fried" with butter. I prefer toasties popped into a toaster. Without that option, guests are left with no choice but to eat the fried option. The pancake was cold and waffles rubbery. Paid for breakfast for 3 days, didn't bother returning the next morning. Room had sliding doors with damaged locks. Couldn't lock the doors in both living room and bedroom leading to the balcony. Reported it, maintenance came in but said it couldn't be repaired and need to be changed. I was assured I was safe, but I felt uncomfortable knowing I couldn't lock those doors. Bathroom had black mould in the corner of the glass screen, that was quite disgusting. Also, the soap holder was damaged and almost off the wall. Had to use the kitchen towel to keep my soap from sliding down and off the holder. First 24 hours, I didn't have hot water running. Didn't realise till I needed to take a shower at night when maintenance had already closed, and I had no hot water. Had to wait till next morning and repeated calls to reception before I had someone come in to fix it. The last night before I left, it rained heavily, and the room got flooded. I was on the 3rd floor by the way. The entire rain flowed in from the balcony into the room. Had to place towels to hold off as much water as possible. Slipped twice as everywhere was wet. I stayed only 3 nights, and it was one issue after another. Not a good experience at all.

Personel bardzo przyjazny i uprzejmy. Apartament nowy, pokoje przestrzenne i funkcjonalne. Na dole sklepik i restauracja, dobra lokalizacja

Wyposażenie apartamentu niezgodne z opisem np. brak żelazka. Od samego początku byl problem z ręcznikami. Na 3 osoby najpierw dostaliśmy 1 potem 2. W opisie była dźwiękoszczelność. Ale przez 3 noce nie mogliśmy spać ze względu na halas z pobliskiego klubu. Muzyka byla tak głośna, ze drżały szyby. Na dodatek grała do samego rana do godziny 7.

I liked the cleanliness, I think it’s one of those things where you are late to the party and its an upside! There are some bad reviews with previous clientels but that makes room for the owner to know what to improve and they really do improve so us late comers experience a better side of things that’s for sure :)) clean space all around no complains on that,

The noise from the neighboring clubs. I’ve seen it being an issue and I didn’t think I’d be affected as a heavy sleeper but i was up till morning. I did want to add an extra night but the thought of the loud clubs chased me away! I even tried sleeping on the couch because there’s less noise there than the bed room and only managed for an hour
