General manager Comfort Hotel Xpress Stockholm Central

Are you the GM we’ve been waiting for?
(Don’t be shy, we’re talking to you)

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 selected service (but the service we give is great!). We aim to be easy & likable. As in easy on the wallet, with easy access and last but definitely not least – easy on the planet. Comfort Hotel  has taken the undisputed position as the Nordic region's leading budget hotel chain.

Comfort Hotel Xpress Stockholm Central,  the name is more complex, but everything else is easier. What exactly is Xpress ? Comfort Hotel Xpress is part of Comfort Hotel. But with our Xpress hotels we’re taking it one step further, distilling the range of services, challenging the hospitality market and proves that it’s possible to think, and act, differently in a traditional industry. At Xpress we offer our guests the flexibility to tailor the hotel stay they need. Services such as breakfast, room cleaning, food, coffee and so on can be purchased separately.   

The hotel has 257 rooms and is located smack in the middle of Stockholm, just on top of Arlanda Express. The rooms are small but smart, with designed compact living solutions.  The heart of our hotel is the Barception, a combination of a bar, a café, a reception, a place to check-in and a deli with tasty goodies & drinks.

Our current General Manager, Bahar Deogun, is moving on to an exciting new challenge as GM of Comfort Hotel Solna. Comfort Hotel Hotel always strives for our people to develop.

At Comfort Hotel Xpress Stockholm Central we’re living our values every day, putting action behind our words. We create a space where entrepreneurs, startups, freelancers, international travelers, domestic guests, and neighbors all come together under one urban roof.

You thrive when your team thrives, believing that sustainability, diversity, and inclusion go hand-in-hand with profitability and growth. Lively yet laid-back, you combine a sharp financial mind with a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach. You enjoy developing people and investing in fresh talent.

Diversity excites you, and you understand the value that different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives bring. The world of budget hotels and the value segment keeps you engaged, and you always stay informed—news apps are at your fingertips. You know Stockholm like the back of your hand and is deeply connected to the community.  Wherever you go, you spread joy and warmth—your energy and laughter are infectious.

Your to-do-list as a Comfort GM:

  • As the General Manager of Comfort Hotel Xpress Stockholm Central , you're the leader on-site. From hitting occupancy targets and driving financial results to building the brand, you act as the CEO of your hotel
  • Make every guest feel welcome and comfortable, ensuring that each interaction reflects our relaxed and urban vibe
  • Drive occupancy and boost revenue by offering great value without compromising on the guest experience
  • Keep an eye on the numbers, managing budgets and finances to make sure the hotel runs profitably and sustainable

  • Lead a small, tight-knit team, creating a fun, collaborative environment where everyone can grow and shine
  • Bring sustainability into everything we do, helping us be a responsible player

Oh, and speaking Swedish (or another Scandinavian language) is kind of a big deal for this role — you'll need it to keep up with  meetings and day -to-day communications. 

That little extra we offer to all our managers at Strawberry:

  • A fast-paced, energetic work environment that values your individuality
  • Opportunities to grow and make your mark within the Strawberry group
  • Staff discounts and friends & family rates at our 200+ hote
