The role involves cleaning and maintaining public areas of the hotel, including corridors, entrances, lounges and other shared spaces, while also providing valet-related support such as handling luggage and assisting guests with their belongings. Candidates are expected to have attention to detail, physical stamina, a polite and service-minded attitude, and the ability to work efficiently as part of a team.

Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Local-first test (hotel jobs are not on the shortage list), or a seasonal permit that comes with employer housing.
Official source: Spanish Ministry of Inclusion: residence and work permit for employees. Checked November 2026.
