I wish I could say I enjoyed my stay. The noise levels from a nearby nightclub club were so high that it was difficult to sleep. I doubt I will book Skynest again.

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.

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.

O hotel é bastante confortável, mas a falta de ar-condicionado nos quartos e de um restaurante para o café da manhã diminuem o conforto na hospedagem.
