GENERAL MANAGER WANTED IN OSLO

COMFORT HOTEL XPRESS CENTRAL STATION IN OSLO IS ON THE SEARCH FOR A NEW BRILLIANT GENERAL MANAGER 

We are in the middle of great adventures!  Nordic Choice Hotels have just become Strawberry.

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 services, but the service we give is great. We aim to be easy & likable. As in easy on the wallet, easy to enjoy, with easy access and last but definitely not least – easy on the planet. 

And even as part of the brand new Strawberry, Comfort Hotel™ will remain Comfort Hotel™.  That does not mean we’re not facing a very exciting future. Change, growth and development are our normal. Comfort Hotel™ has taken the undisputed position as the Nordic region's leading budget hotel chain. 

With the current GM moving on to exciting new opportunities within the company, this opens up new possibilities. To further strengthen our position we need you!

Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station is something special. A budget hotel with THE most central location in Oslo (hence Norway). We’re pretty confident this is a pretty unique combination, and we are extremely proud of our little gem. 

Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station has 195 rooms, a barception & deli which is open 24/7 where we serve warm & cold drinks - and healthy, sustainable eats with great pride and big smiles. 

As a Xpress hotel we do not have a restaurant, breakfast room and the traditional breakfast buffet. Oslos many (excellent) restaurants, cafés and bars are just around the corner. We do not claim to be your destination. We do aim for your stay at your destination to be better when staying with us though. This is something we would love to discuss with you. 

So, are you the GM of our dreams?

We do understand that if minibars, conference rooms and a la carte restaurants are your thing, we are not for you. Which is fine! We’re not for everyone. 

Budget hotels and the value segment, however, should interest you - a lot. You are definitely passionate about both people, planet and profit. We take diversity seriously, and know that people with different experiences, backgrounds and skills will add value to us. 

You experience success when your teams flourish. Sustainability, diversity and inclusion go hand in hand with market share, profitability and growth. You are relaxed and informal with excellent financial understanding. You are pragmatic, flexible and solution-oriented. You should also enjoy developing people and have the ability to invest in new talent. 

We also think 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 spreading joy & warmth around you, and your laughter is contagious. So is your energy. 

As General Manager for Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station, 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?

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

Espen Ravnå mobil nr +47 90251551 Director of Operations Comfort Hotel NO.
