Send Us Your CV (or just a haiku, we’re flexible)
You’re the first face guests see after a long journey—and hopefully not the one they complain to when their charger doesn’t fit the socket. From check-ins and questions to pouring pints and keeping the bar vibes going, you’ll keep things moving smoothly at reception and in our F&B area.
You enjoy meeting people from all over the world (and pretending to know where things are on a map)
You’re a natural at making others feel at home—even if they just arrived at 3AM
Multitasking is your middle name (or at least your energy drink’s tagline)
You don’t panic when someone asks for a vegan, gluten-free, oat-milk mojito
Guests with questions, concerns, and occasionally mysterious luggage
Drink orders, key cards, and the occasional hangover cure
A team that thrives on organised chaos—and loves it
Flexible shifts
International vibes & the best stories to tell your friends
Work experience in one of Amsterdam’s most legendary hostels
Staff discounts and actual humans as coworkers
You’re fluent in English—and in friendliness
You’re flexible with your time and even more flexible with your patience
You love helping travelers feel welcome, even if they can’t pronounce “Kerkstraat”
Bonus points if you speak another language, or can at least fake one convincingly
Enthusiastic, reliable, and not afraid of a bit of beautiful hostel madness
Send us your CV—or your best “How can I help you?” face.
