Who Are We Looking For?

Do you have an eye for detail and the ability to make every hotel room look Spotless for our guests? With you on our housekeeping team, we are assured of the cleanest results. Meanwhile, you walk around with a big smile and feel at home in our hotel.

Family & Friendliness

The James Hotel isn’t part of a large hotel chain, which is precisely why it feels like running a hotel with your family. A second home and a family with whom you love spending time. We even have a “sister” hotel in Amsterdam; Hotel2Stay. We go out together, have lots of fun, and share a common passion: making others feel at home. We love working with and for people. We do this with full energy and passion, and we believe that being presentable is key. At The James Hotel, you’ll never be on your own. We take pride in our warm, family-like atmosphere and genuinely care about every individual; we organize fun team outings, small holiday gifts, and we certainly won’t forget your birthday. Will you bring the cake? :)

Your Role

As a housekeeping staff member, you are responsible for keeping our hotel rooms clean and in top condition. You ensure that all rooms are cleaned according to our standards and that nothing is missing or broken; in other words, you provide optimal comfort for our guests.

About Us

At The James Hotel, we create a dynamic work environment where no day is the same. Together with the housekeeping team, you start each morning with a smile, eager to start your workday. You clean our rooms quickly but thoroughly and take occasional breaks to grab a free cup of good coffee, cappuccino, or tea and catch up with one of the housekeeping supervisors. They check the rooms before guests arrive, have years of experience, and might just teach you the finer points of the job.

Moreover, at The James, there’s always room for your development. Perhaps, in a while, you’ll become a supervisor yourself. But for now, you find satisfaction in cleaning the rooms because that’s how you contribute to the comfort and luxury that our guests keep coming back for.
