About the role

Thilhara Colombo is hiring a Receptionist, and the ad welcomes both male and female applicants. The pay package has three parts: a basic salary, a service charge and a meal allowance.

About Thilhara Colombo

Thilhara Colombo is a 3-star hotel at No. 75, Union Place, Colombo 02. Hotel listings describe it as a city hotel with a restaurant, banquet and meeting space, and a 24-hour front desk. CareerLK has also listed an accounts vacancy at the same Union Place address.

Salary package

• Basic salary
• Service charge, a percentage that hotels add to guest bills and share among staff, so the amount can change with business levels
• Meal allowance

What a hotel receptionist usually does

The ad lists no duties. At a hotel front desk the work usually covers greeting guests, check-in and check-out, answering phone calls and email enquiries, taking room reservations, preparing bills and passing guest requests to housekeeping and other departments. Treat this as general background on the job, not as the hotel’s own job description.

Tips for your application

Put your spoken and written English first, followed by any front office, customer service or computer experience. A hotel front desk usually runs across the day and night, so ask about shift patterns and how service charge is shared before you accept an offer. Add a recent photograph only if you are comfortable doing so, since the ad does not ask for one.
