Fire Closes Hotel in Surabaya

Following a fire inside Surabaya’s MEX Building recently, Aston International has decided to temporarily close the favehotel MEX.

While the fire, which originated in a Karaoke Club occupying the MEX building’s fifth floor, did not harm the favehotel located 2 floors below, the hotel sustained damage to its hallways and some guest rooms and suites due to water leaking from the upper floors sprinkler system.

General Manager, Mr. Nanang Supriady said, “Our first priority was to conduct a swift evacuation of the hotel and then find temporary alternative accommodations for our guests. This went very well and all guests are safe and comfortable again but after inspecting the hotel, We concluded that the repair and maintenance required will probably take until early February when we plan to reopen better than ever.”
