Can you work at a hotel/hostel reception desk with louzy/limited knowledge of German?

Post Body

I've been living in Germany since October 2019 and working the same job in English since I was hired in January 2020. I live alone and back when I was living with roommates, we never spoke in German since they all barely knew any German. Also, at work, no one is German and not many of them speak German. I'm supposed to get permanent residency some time in 2024 and if I do, I will seriously consider resigning from my job, moving to another German state and working at a reception desk in a hotel and hostel until I get German citizenship. Here's the issue, while I do speak several languages fluently including French and English, I only have about B1 in German and my speaking skills are rather limited even though I understand z lot of spoken and written German.

Can I still find a job as a hotel/hostel receptionist in Germany or is that basically impossible unless you speak fluent German (B2 and above)? I will likely improve my German by than but I recently came to the realisation that, no matter what I do, German is just not a language I will ever be comfortable expressing myself in.
