You check all areas of the hotel for safety and take immediate action if anything is amiss.
For our guests, you are a friendly point of contact for any questions about the hotel.

You work independently, are solution-oriented and reliable, and keep a clear head even in stressful situations.
A sense of responsibility – the hotel is in good hands with you.
A friendly manner towards guests and colleagues.
Willingness to work the odd weekend – our hotel is open to guests seven days a week.
