In other words, this study has two specific objectives; Measuring the level of guests\' satisfaction in the areas of front office and housekeeping and identifying potential improvement processes that would enhance the service level. To achieve the objectives of this study, Six-Sigma methodology has been applied which provides a structured approach to solve problems.  The approach has five phases; Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC). Initially, the data were collected based on interviews with both employees and guests. Additionally, a questionnaire was conducted to elicit reliable responses from the guests. Relevant literature was studied to get a deeper understanding of the problem. Some of the literature is summarized in the theory part of the study. The results of the case study presented recommendations for the hotel management to improve the service level.
