Do you want to work at a cozy country hotel? A hotel with a beautiful garden, lovely hotel rooms, and fantastic guests. We are now looking for seasonal staff for Halmstad Gårdshotell in Söndrum. Our staff works with everything from cleaning to reception, hosting, and gardening. However, the main focus is hotel cleaning, about 80% of the working hours. If you have interest and engagement, you will learn how to run a smaller hotel!

In the 2024 season, we had the best guest ratings of all hotels in Halmstad; 4.7 out of 5 on Google, 9.3 out of 10 on Booking, and 9.8 out of 10 on Hotels.com. We are now looking for employees who want to help us become even better.

Your Workplace and Ours

Halmstad Gårdshotell is a small boutique hotel with a rural feel, located between the city center and Tylösand. We have a fantastic garden, outdoor seating, a grill, and a pizza oven. However, we do not have a restaurant and do not serve breakfast. We strive for a high standard in everything we do; decor, hosting, bathrooms, and wonderfully made beds, etc. We want to emphasize that we are very meticulous about our cleaning!

Guests at the country hotel check in either to a hotel room or a studio. The hotel rooms have access to a shared kitchen, and each studio has its own kitchen. On the property, there are 13 hotel rooms and 7 studios with a total of 50 beds. We, the owners of the hotel who live on the property, are a family with two children, a dog, and two elderly grandparents. Together, we have created an environmentally conscious and flourishing country hotel with a relaxed atmosphere.

Your Responsibilities

· Cleaning (about 80% of the work) of hotel rooms, kitchens, and common areas, essentially cleaning all buildings on the property.

· Reception with Check-in and Check-out of guests. We work in the booking system Sirvoy.

· Hosting is key and during your working hours, you will greet and chat with our guests, answer questions, and provide your tips regarding Halmstad.
