Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the job of Room Attendant at your Mussoorie hotel, which I saw on the Apna app. I have completed a certificate in housekeeping and twelve weeks of training at a 4-star hotel in Dehradun.

During my training I cleaned ten to twelve rooms a shift with a supervisor. I learnt bed making, bathroom cleaning and amenity setup, and I always dilute chemicals according to the chart and wear gloves. In the last two weeks I passed five supervisor room checks in a row. When I found a guest's phone in a room, I handed it to the supervisor and filled the lost-and-found register at once.

I speak Hindi and some English, and I am honest and careful with guests' belongings.

I can work all shifts, including weekends and festivals, and can join immediately. I am also open to hotel jobs in the Gulf, and I would be happy to clean a room under your supervisor's eye as a trial.

Sincerely,
Gwen Ostrander

Dear Hiring Manager,

I would like to apply for the Room Attendant position at your Dubai hotel, advertised through your agency in Bengaluru. I have five years of housekeeping experience at a 5-star hotel in Bengaluru, the last four as a room attendant.

I clean fourteen rooms a shift, including suites and VIP floors, and my average inspection score is 96%. I follow a fixed order in every room so nothing is missed, check under beds and in drawers before I leave, and report any maintenance problem the same hour. Guests have named me in about 25 online reviews, and my supervisor has asked me to train eight new attendants on the room checklist.

Before rooms, I worked a year as a public area attendant in the lobby, restaurants and washrooms.

My passport is valid until 2031, and I can travel as soon as the visa is ready. I am happy to take a practical room-cleaning test with your recruitment team.

Sincerely,
Rafael Quinn

Copy either letter, then change every detail to your own: the company, the job title, your numbers. Pair it with a matching housekeeper resume and the skills housekeeper job adverts ask for. The layout, header and greeting are the same for every job: see how to write a cover letter.

How to open the letter

Name the job, where you saw it and your strongest fact in the first two lines. Two openings that work:

  • I clean 14 rooms a shift at a 5-star hotel with a 96% inspection score, and I am applying for your Room Attendant position.
  • After 12 weeks of housekeeping training at a 4-star hotel, I would like to apply for your Room Attendant job.

What to write in the body

One or two paragraphs that prove you can do the job the advert describes. For a housekeeper, the body should also:

  • Show honesty and care with guests' things.
  • State shifts, languages and passport for Gulf jobs.

How to close the letter

Close with your shift availability, joining date and, for overseas jobs, passport validity. A short, polite close is best; housekeeping managers value reliability over long letters.

Writing it with no experience

  • Use training or home and hostel cleaning work.
  • Mention chemical safety and honesty.
  • Say you can work any shift.

Mistakes to avoid

  • No numbers.
  • Forgetting availability.
  • Long letters.
