Admiral Hotel in Copenhagen is seeking a reliable Night Receptionist to support our night team. This on-call role demands hospitality excellence, guest warmth, and the ability to work independently during late hours, including weekends and holidays.
Shifts run from 21:45 to 07:00, with a courteous approach to check-ins, check-outs, reservations, and guest inquiries. Danish is not required, and additional languages are a plus.
Hospitality never sleeps - and neither does Admiral. When the city quiets down, our commitment to exceptional hospitality continues. We are looking for a reliable and service-minded Night Receptionist who takes pride in making every guest feel genuinely welcome, cared for, and in safe hands - no matter the hour.
This is a on-call position with no guaranteed number of hours, where you will support our permanent night team during holidays, sickness, busy periods, and whenever extra support is needed. Shifts are scheduled between 21:45 and 07:00.
As a Night Receptionist, you are an important ambassador for Admiral throughout the night. You may be the last person a guest meets before heading to their room - or the first friendly face they see before an early departure.
With 366 rooms and guests from all over the world, you can expect nights that require both independence, good judgement, and genuine attentiveness. For us, great hospitality is found in the details. It is about noticing what a guest needs, taking ownership, and creating a warm and personal experience - also at 3 o’clock in the morning.
Your responsibilities will include:
Welcoming, checking in, and checking out guests, including cash and payment handling.
Handling reservations and relevant reception tasks.
Answering phone calls and responding to guest inquiries.
Carrying out administrative duties and night reception routines.
Being present and available for our guests throughout the night.
Handling guest requests and finding solutions with professionalism and care.
Contributing to a safe, calm, and welcoming atmosphere throughout the hotel.
Working closely with colleagues to ensure a smooth handover between evening, night, and morning teams.
You genuinely enjoy creating great experiences for other people and understand that excellent hospitality is both professional and personal.
You take responsibility and set high standards for your work. You notice the details, stay calm when something unexpected happens, and are comfortable making decisions independently.
At the same time, you bring warmth and personality to every interaction. We believe that the best service feels authentic - not scripted.
Experience from a similar role within hospitality is an advantage, but your mindset and approach to people are just as important to us.
You are fluent in English, both written and spoken. Danish is not a requirement, and additional languages are considered a plus.
You have strong IT skills, and experience with Mews or another hotel booking system is an advantage.
As this is an on-call position, it is important that you are flexible and able to take night shifts when needed, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays.
At Admiral Hotel, you will become part of an open and collaborative environment where you have the opportunity to make a personal difference in both our operation and development. We place great emphasis on employee well-being and are proud to maintain a high level of engagement and job satisfaction across the organization. This is something we can clearly see reflected in our results - and just as importantly, something you can feel when you walk through the hotel.
The position includes:
Good employment terms u nder a collective agreement , including pension and health scheme.
An exciting and challenging position at one of Copenhagen's most iconic hotels.
A workplace with a good community, where you become part of an engaged team with skilled and welcoming colleagues.
