This vacancy applies to all the WestCord Hotels in Amsterdam: WestCord Art Hotel, WestCord City Centre Hotel, WestCord Fashion Hotel and Hotel Jakarta.

I am Christine, Housekeeping Manager at the WestCord City Centre Hotel for the past 5 years. My job is very challenging and diverse. I work closely with my housekeeping team, as well as the 0perational team and the Technical Manager. WestCord City Centre is a 3 star hotel, located in the center of Amsterdam, a 5-minute walk  from the Kalverstreet, Dam Square and the Central Station. I am searching for new colleagues for our Housekeeping department, full-time as well as part-time. Most of the work will be in the rooms. That means  getting the room spotlessly clean. The new guest should feel they are entering a brand new hotel room with a fresh bed that has never been slept in or rented out before. If we, as a team, succeed in this, then we have done our job!

There will be moments that we will request you to do a nightshift. Together we will take care of the public areas, including the public toilets. Easy, you would say? Not at all! It will be hard work, but we always try to have a lot of fun in between and that makes the day pass quickly.

WestCord City Centre Hotel

Working in the heart of Amsterdam, who does not like the sound of that?! The WestCord City Centre Hotel is just a 5 minute walking distance from The Dam square and 10 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station. This boutique hotel has 106 rooms and a recently renovated  breakfast restaurant and lobby. We’re looking for new colleges with seniority; go-getters with dare and the will to educate others, to get them excited to give guest the best Hospitality service. People who enjoy (someone else’s) his/hers luck, hedonists that love to share their founded ‘pearls’ within the City of Amsterdam! Someone who can advise guests to make the most out of their stay in Amsterdam and give them an experience they will never forget.
