• Helping guests at the self check-in kiosks (we have no reception desk);
• Being a kitchen hero - cleaning, preparing and serving hot and cold breakfast and meals;
• Brewing delicious coffee or mixing a signature cocktail;
• Being a secret concierge to the city, answering guests’ questions about the best places to visit, eat, shop or party;
• Maintaining the living room and cleaning canteenM, and arranging food displays for the following shift;
• Helping our guests with any requests or demands regarding our facilities (you may even get some new tech skills);
• Handling reservations in our property management system (PMS)
• Holding the keys to the castle; responsible for operations during the night shifts;
• Taking care of our guests including in emergency situations.
