Volkshotel is a place for single mums, dandies, artists and night owls. A place where there’s life 24/7 and creativity flows. In Volkshotel, locals and travellers gather to eat, drink, work, sleep and play. With Werkplaats (café & co-working spaces), Doka (sound bar), Canvas (restaurant on the 7th floor), Broedplaats VKG (85 work spaces for creative minds) and 216 hotel rooms, this former newspaper building is more than just a place for tourists to sleep. The reasonable prices and easy-going vibe make Volkshotel a place for everyone.
Volkshotel’s housekeeping team consists of 25 employees and 2 Assistant Managers. We’re looking for someone who can keep their head cool when the laundry carts are full and the list of rooms still to do is long. As Housekeeping Manager, you’ll be a familiar face in the building. You lead the crew that makes sure guests don’t find someone else’s socks in their room and that every floor looks the way it should. You keep procedures on track, the pace steady, and the mood good. You report to the Operations Manager and know exactly what it takes to get the job done.
