My experience of staying at Aston hotel PalembangSabtu 29 Oktober saya tiba di Palembang bandara dan karena saya telah dikonfirmasi Hotel Aston dua hari sebelumnya yang akan menjemput di bandara dan mereka mengatakan segala sesuatu adalah dalam rangka. Dengan 8 tahun putri saya yang benar-benar lelah dari penerbangan panjang dan tidak ada satu dari hotel menjemput kami dari bandara. Saya harus mendapatkan lain taksi carteran untuk membawa saya ke Aston. Ketika saya tiba di hotel, karena saya menunggu untuk check in, saya harus menunggu untuk berdiri lama dan ada penjelasan mengapa mereka harus membantu Dugaan lain yang datang setelah aku dan ingin check in pertama. Sebagian besar anggota staf masih sangat muda dan tidak ramah, Greating tidak ada atau curtesy dan mereka tidak peduli apa kebutuhan menebak. Ruangan yang baik dan sangat baik tetapi drain kamar mandi diblokir dan benar-benar menyenangkan untuk mandi di air melayang. Bagian lebih buruk adalah kolam renang buka dari jam 8 pagi sampai 6 sore, karena kami ingin berenang sangat awal atau lambat ketika kita kembali setelah kegiatan hari kami, tapi kami tidak bisa berenang karena kita biasanya tiba setelah pukul 6 sore setiap hari. Makanan yang sangat baik yang satu-satunya hal saya senang dengan.Posting oleh M. Arief, Australia pada Okt 2011

HISTORY & VISION

Arriving in Indonesia in 1997, Aston International led by Charles Brookfield at first concentrated on city center hotels, serviced apartments and property management. Holding true to Aston International’s firm belief in change management, Aston International was the first company in Indonesia to redefine the serviced apartment concept into a daily hotel and long stay facility. A strategy which redefined the serviced apartment industry and marked Aston as a company that didn’t want to just play the game – they wanted to change the way the game was played.

From the moment of arrival to the moment of departure, guests are consciously and unconsciously introduced to a resort or villa holiday experience, which has been carefully considered and meticulously planned to give them an overall sense of happiness and well-being throughout their stay.

With steady hard work and an undying belief in the Asian market, Aston International moved its headquarters to Jakarta in 2000 to fully concentrate on development in Indonesia and South East Asia. Aston International has since developed into one of Indonesia’s leading hospitality management companies with a growing presence in all sectors of the industry and future plans for expansion into other major Asian cities and resort destinations.

With a proven track record of success, a positive attitude and a never ending ambition to become universally recognized as the preferred hospitality management company in Asia Pacific - the

future for Aston International - is indeed bright!
