All of the rooms at Mbweni are situated in a long two-storey building and are of a decent size. They have a clean en-suite bathroom and a small private balcony with a table and a few chairs. Each has air-conditioning and is furnished with lovely Zanzibar canopy beds, two lounge chairs and a small Zanzibari table.

The rooms have white-washed walls and tiled floors, though when we were last there (Feb 2007) they were starting to look a bit tired and dated. They were perfectly comfortable, but we felt that with a bit of a face-lift they would be a lot better!

The bathrooms of the standard suites were very clean and functional. Each had a hot-and-cold shower, a single sink with a large mirror above it, and a toilet. Like the rooms, the bathrooms could be improved a lot with some redecorating.
