Job Description

Why we do what we do

At THIS HO(S)TEL, we mix style, comfort, and community in the heart of Amsterdam. Just steps from Central Station, our design-led, cube-style ho(s)tel blends the best of both worlds the buzz of a social hostel with the quality and design of a boutique hotel.

With private pods, a lively bar and restaurant, and self check-in tech, we’ve redefined what modern travel feels like. Guests come for the convenience, but stay for the connection and that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Front Office Team Member who’s friendly, switched-on, and ready to make every traveler feel right at home.

What you’ll bring and learn

  • A passion for hospitality and connecting with people from all over the world
  • Confidence in handling fast-paced situations with a calm, positive attitude
  • Interest in growing your skills in guest relations, systems, and teamwork
  • The opportunity to learn MEWS (our property management system) and be part of an international hospitality environment

What you’ll be doing

  • Be the face of the hostel: welcome guests with warmth and enthusiasm
  • Handle check-ins, check-outs, and bookings through our digital systems
  • Manage guest inquiries in person, by email, and over the phone no robotic replies allowed
  • Keep things running smoothly between reception, housekeeping, and maintenance
  • Process payments and issue invoices accurately and efficiently
  • Share insider tips on where to eat, what to see, and how to experience Amsterdam like a local
  • Maintain a tidy, well-organized reception area
  • Pass along guest feedback or issues to the team so we can keep improving

Job requirements

  • Previous experience in hospitality, reception, or front-of-house (hostel/hotel experience a plus)
  • Strong communication skills and fluent in English (Dutch or other languages are a bonus)
  • Comfortable using computers and learning new systems (MEWS experience = extra points)
  • A team player with great energy, initiative, and attention to detail
  • Living in or near Amsterdam and ready to be part of the city buzz
  • Available for flexible shifts, including evenings and weekends

What we offer you

  • A fun, fast-paced job in the heart of Amsterdam
  • A small, tight-knit, international team that knows how to work hard and have fun
  • Staff discounts at our bar/restaurant and other RB Horeca venues across the city
  • Flexible hours and opportunities to grow within the company
  • A creative, open-minded environment where your ideas matter

Sounds like your next move?

If you’re ready to join a vibrant, design-driven hostel where every day brings new faces, energy, and stories, we’d love to meet you!
