HEY, YOU!

We're looking for unique personalities for Hobo Oslo, and something tells us you might be the one we're looking for? In October, we opened a brand new hotel concept, one that's turning the hotel world upside down.

Do you have an eye for detail, a passion for creating an inviting and clean environment, and a heart for giving guests the ultimate "home away from home" feeling? Perfect! We need you as part of our fantastic Housekeeping Crew! You are key to making our guests feel welcome and comfortable, and ensuring our rooms reflect Hobo's unique style and standard.

Right now, we're looking for key people who are passionate about hospitality, thrive in a dynamic environment, and love working with people – and who understand the importance of a spotless and inspiring space.

Does that sound like you? Well, then you absolutely must read on.

JOIN HOBO

Hobo is more than a hotel. It's an experience, a lifestyle, and a creative community. Now we're right in the middle of Karl Johan. Exciting, right?

Hobo is for the modern traveler. With our feet planted in the hyperlocal, we break with old ideas of what a hotel should be. Here, it's less about concierge services and white tablecloths, and more about concerts and pop-ups. Read more about the hotel here: www.hobohotel.no

We combine design, culture, music, and food to create a meeting place where both travelers and locals meet, collaborate, and are inspired by each other, and everything we do is rooted in Oslo's energy. Whether you're here for a night, a season, or just a quick drink, you're part of something bigger. A global community – built on local love.

In the middle of Karl Johan, Hobo Oslo is a vibrant hub with 181 rooms, four unique food and beverage concepts, event venues, and flexible workspaces. But most importantly: We want to create an atmosphere where both guests and employees can be themselves and feel at home.

Hobo was born in Stockholm in 2017, expanded to Helsinki in 2024, and came to Oslo  in 2025. We are inspired by the energy of the cities, the people who fill them with life, and the creative forces that make each Hobo hotel unique.
