COMFORT HOTEL KARL JOHAN IS ON THE SEARCH FOR A NEW BRILLIANT GENERAL MANAGER 

We’re Comfort Hotel – a hotel chain that promises to give our guests what they need, and skip the unnecessary. We have great locations, urban design and we’re offering selected service. BUT the service we give is great. We aim to be easy & likeable. As in easy on the wallet, with easy access and last but definitely not least – easy on the planet.  

At Comfort Hotel Karl Johan  we’re putting everything that’s important to us into action, making sure we live as we learn (and teach). We aim to gather entrepreneurs, startups, freelancers, guests & neighbours all under one roof.  We (soon) have 260  rooms with an ace location smack in the middle of Oslo. Just opposite Oslo Domkirke. We say soon, because we’re currently adding 79 rooms to our existing 181. How exciting is that?

The hotel collaborates with Ole Jonny Eikefjord who takes care of our two backyards, our bar and restaurant.  After some very “interesting” months, we are super excited to re-open on May 7th. People are our core business. And we have missed all our amazing guests and colleagues. 

So, are you the GM of our dreams? 

You’re probably checking mashable.com on a daily basis, and you have a bunch of news apps on your phone, making sure nothing passes you by.

 You know how to make a collaborative playlist on Spotify, and you know that Stan Smith comes in many colors. You know the difference between etos, patos & logos. You know Oslo by heart and love your community. You’re result oriented, and when you're posting stuff on social media, it’s super rare that you get less than 50 likes. 

 You’re spreading joy & warmth around you, and your laughter is contagious. So is your energy. 

 We see you as someone who’s easygoing, lively and extrovert. You are reliable and take full ownership to get shit done. You have an entrepreneurial mindset and strong leadership skills. You are the one your friends would call in case of emergency or to get a tip on which restaurant to take their Tinder date to. 

As General Manager for Comfort Hotel Karl Johan, you are responsible for everything at the hotel. From reaching the occupancy target, the financial results and to build the brand. You are the leader on site. You are acting as CEO. 

Does this feel like a perfect match?

Go ahead and send your application via the link.  

If you have  any questions or want to discuss why budget hotels don't need to be boring call me or send a text. I’m looking forward to it!

Solveig Mathea Voldheim  mobil nr +47 988 64 304, Director of Operations Comfort Hotel Norway. 

PS: Yes, Norwgian (or your preferred Scandinavian language) works just as fine.
