Find Hotels in Bengkulu, Indonesia

It was a nice stayed. Friendly staff with a big smiles and greetings. A fast check in and out, we requested for late check out and its granted although we did it at 11am. Superior room has no mini bar and refrigerator but it was meet santika standard. Swimming pool area need major refurbishment. Due high level Chlorine contain in the pool, you can actually smell it.. and seems water didn't well regulated, we refuse to use it. Breakfast variety is the best in town as well as the room service. We highly recommend santika bengkulu for people traveling with family, business, or the first timer in bengkulu.

There are many place nearby have to visit and as a hotel value for money, you can spend your budget more to have a local culiner there, and there so many tourist destination to be scheduled and visited. If you are in a hurry to go, you can order an airport bus with a call. Indonesian breakfast won't bother me, there are room with enough space even you are travelling with family, and hotel can prepare you an extra bed.

The hotel is quit good, although it is 1 star hotel, the room is spacious. It is just 50 meters from Museum Rumah Fatmawati, and walking distance to Museum Seokarno's exile house. It's also walking distance to Pantai Pasir Panjang, a wonderful beach in Bengkulu. Go to city center in Suprapto street also only may be 70 meters. It also near the souvenir shops. And the best of it. In front og your hotel you can find public transport. In Bengkulu even you want to rent a car or taxi is very difficult. Luckily our hotel near the public transport. But unfortunately in my room toilet, the closet little beat smelly when I flash out. But over all it's a recommended hotel in Bengkulu, especially if you concern about budget.

I'm not so picky about places to stay. As a backpacker after traveling a few days in Sumatra, I got used to hotel standard all around this big island so I didn't expect anything spacial for the price I had to pay. In short I assumed every hotel in Sumatra is a lot overprice compared to other SE countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam or even Thailand. But I had the worst experience ever in this place. I arrived Bengkulu and this hotel early in the morning by public bus from Padang. At first I guessed all the staffs thought I was a stinky homeless indonesian (that didn't surprise me after a long journey and I'm Thai who looks a lot like local people). I don't know thier language and they don't understand english at all but I guessed from thier manners & gestures which meant "Go away!". I tried to say "I've already booked a room via Agoda" and showed my voucher but it didn't sound anything to them. Luckily, one of the staff finally figured out what "Agoda" is. But that was just the begining of the story. For 2 days, the staffs kept bothering me million times to pay for the room in cash even I'd tried to explain that I'd already paid the full price via Agoda. I'm not quite good in speaking english but I think it should be clear enough to communicate with any hotel & airport staffs but this hotel's staffs didn't understand english at all. Luckily (again), a staff who know what "Agoda" is, explained my situation to their coworkers then I can check out & get out of this place with less problems. The hotel facilities was very bad too. There was a bathtub with full of water but that meant their pipe water didn't work, no hot water, no shower at all. The location is very near the long beach, it's clean & beautiful beach than the other ones in Sumatra but the hotel is far from anything else. You have to walk at least 0.5 km before you can find food places in the evening.

I was stay in the guest house with my mom, and feel like we were in our own home. The hotel were so nice in hommy decorative with a small fish pool. Though it only a guest house but have complete ammenities, such as towel, tooth brush, shower bath, shampoo, a jar of drinking water with two glasses, made our overnite so relax and comfortable. And one more : They serve our bfast in the room, and have taxi call to bring us to the place we want to go.

The aircon in my room didn't cope with the heat (although others in our group said their aircons were OK). The room of one of our group was not cleaned, breakfast tray not removed, and when staff were informed, nothing happened to rectify the situation. The office worked OK when the lady in charge was present, but otherwise, staff were unable (not empowered?) to carry out requests satisfactorily. If you ask them to book a car, be prepared to wait 45 minutes after agreed time. For $50 AUD a night, there must be much better hotels in Bengkulu.

It's a weird. I finished my payment about 10PM in the morning, but resepsionist allowed me to check in eaely. Luck me. When i saw the room, its clean, good interior, good facility, but.. the key of the room not using automatic card, yeah, with the manual key. bad smell in bath room. and i dont they didnt put airfreshness or something. but, i like the location because in front of pantai panjang. Just across the street upon me, i can walking in the beach everytime i want.
