We had a standard room and were really happy. The room and the bed is clean, it has a TV, western Toilet and a shower. The breakfast is great and they have a kitchen we're you could cook. As well the owner can provide you with a lot of information about Bengkulu. I would always come back.

Nice hotel not too far from the city center and near Fort Marlborough and the beach in a pleasant residential area.
I enjoyed the big and confortable room and the free kitchen facilities, beside the very nice terras in the central area. Everything has a personal/domestic ambiance:)
Also thank you very much for all the extra tourist service concerning further traveling and a excursion.

Very nice place to sleep for 220K IDR/ pernight, two single bed, with aircon, toilet seated, powerfull jet shower and include breakfast. It is a classic guesthouse, built in Soekarno era. You can see the building structure the same with Soekarno exhile house in Bengkulu, so it is probably 80years old.

One of the best budget accomodations you could find in Bengkulu. Located near to the Pantai Panjang beach. Amenities provided are adequate and suit your budget especially for back packers. They provide you breakfast of your choice and sent personally each morning to their guests whom are fast asleep early in the morning.

Property owner was a generous and kind lady. After my stay for three days enjoying the seaside walk and doing some shopping for the local specialties, I had to go back to Palembang City using a private taxi or "Travel" as they are popularly known to the locals.

I had problems communicating with the taxi driver as I was not fluent with and fully understood the local language. I seek the assistance of the lady property owner to talk to the driver using my cellphone to guide him so that he can fetch me at Tropicana Guest House.

Judging from the conversation between the lady and the taxi driver, it seems that the taxi driver was not familiar with the route heading to the said property although the lady had given him the precise instruction and details the route he should use. Without giving up, the lady persistently guide the driver through the phone conversation.

After about forty minutes, the driver finally reached the pick up point. He told the lady that he had already passed the route twice but overlooked the guesthouse's signboard displayed clearly by the roadside.

I packed all my baggage and thanks the lady for her help without which I don't know how am I going to talk and guide the taxi driver due to my language differences. We left the property and headed to Lubuklinggau train station through the long and winding roads which runs along the hillside and deep ravines for about three and a half hours.

As a reminder to other travellers like me who opt for long distance travel by road, it's best if you take an Express bus. The taxi driver (Travel) that I booked drove his car as if no one else are with him. Rushing and driving like crazy to reach his destination. He drove like the road only belongs to him without ever considering the safety of the passengers.

As a foreigner, I couldn't complain much. While seated and cramped at the last row with baggages on our lap with my partner in his Toyota Avanza, we prayed all the way hoping to reach our destination safely. This will be my last ride with the so called Travel, if they want to show their skill of driving, please do it alone, we still look forward for a far better things in our life.
