The location may not be away from the beach, the good thing is it is a new hotel with clean room. It's also located by the road where local transportation passes so it is not so difficult to reach local historical places like the fort and historical houses of Bengkulu.
The staff is also helpful. The only shortcoming is for the single travelers since their rooms are on the 3rd floor where no lift is available, but don't worry, the staff is ready to help.
The nearby restaurants are few hundred meters away, but next to the hotel there is a Indonesian restaurant that offers variety of food, you can also ask for room service.
If you want to rent a car, it's better to book from outside, the last time I booked the car from the hotel, it is not reliable in terms of the time.
