Pros:

Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely big one bedroom apartment with kitchen facilities. Couldn't fault the staff, they were all excellent. Loved the pool area with great views over the city. Plenty of nearby restaurants, short walk to Westgate Mall. It was a good location too, safe secure, ideal for transport, especially to and from the airport.

Great rooftop amenities and location, but the apartment comfort and room allocation did not fully match the premium expe
Pros:

The infinity pool and rooftop views were the highlight of my stay and gave the property a premium feel. The location in Westlands is very convenient, and I particularly liked the dining set and overall modern design of the apartment. The staff were also polite and welcoming.

Cons:

Unfortunately, I was not given the room category I had originally booked. While the apartment looked aesthetically pleasing, the living room couches were not very comfortable for extended use. The balcony also felt underwhelming and lacked the premium outdoor seating experience I expected from a property of this standard.

Comfortable but expected better
Pros:

The location and the facilities within the residence

Cons:

The apartments are not being cleaned well. The chairs are stained and the bed linen not changed often. House keeping staff are good but some are rude.

Felt right at home here. Definitely coming back again.
Pros:

This hotel feels like home. We had a spacious apartment with everything we needed. What a treat! Friendly staff, nice little supermarket downstairs. All very convenient. It's a wonderful stay here. We extended our stay and they made sure we didn't have to move to another room. Definitely coming back here.

Cons:

Sometimes the cleaners forgot to bring water or extra toilet paper. But that's really all I can comment. Oh, one more thing: there's a 'trash shute' next to the elevator that's a bit smelly. Don't know why they have that or why they keep the door open. Oh, and the elevator system makes no sense, but that became a bit of a gamification experience for us. ;-)

Never again!
Pros:

The rooms are large as they are apartments - for a family of 4 it is suitable with 2x bedrooms and 2x bathrooms. The rooms were clean. The check-in was very smooth. The chocolate shop downstairs is very nice.

Cons:

We had booked multiple stays at Skynest residences. When we checked in for the first time the ladies at the reception mentioned that the breakfast starts at 6:30 am. We had specifically booked breakfast while choosing this hotel as we wanted to start early to head out to Masai Mara the next day. In the morning next day, the person at the reception said that their 'breakfast promotion' had ended and we will have to pay for it. Whereas, we had booking terms and conditions clearly mentioned that breakfast was included in the stay. He was probably just doing his job but there was no way at that hour this could be resolved. We had to leave the hotel without eating breakfast inspite of paying for it in the room stay. We felt the hotel staff have no information about our multiple stays in the hotel. Also, there are several night clubs below the hotel, it was a weekend night and the whole night there was loud sounds making it a sleepless night for us.

We cancelled our following stays with Skynest for this trip and stayed somewhere else. There are better places in the vicinity.
