Looking to check in fast and skip the hassle of cash? At Boutique Hotel Zilversluis, we prioritise contactless and card payments to make your arrival and departure seamless. While cash is possible up to €250 (please bring the exact amount), most guests choose to tap or pay by card for a quicker, smoother experience. In this guide, you'll learn exactly which payment methods we accept, how pre-authorization works, and practical tips to speed up check-in and keep your stay stress-free.
Why contactless and card-first makes your stay smoother

They are fast, reduce queuing at busy times, and keep the admin simple when you add breakfast, parking discounts, or a meeting room booking to your stay. Combined with our clear policies and invoicing options, they make business and leisure travel more convenient from start to finish.

How pre-authorization works (and why it helps)
Pre-authorization is a standard hotel practice that places a temporary hold on your card. It speeds up late arrivals and guarantees flexible reservations without charging your card upfront.
- When it’s used: As a reservation guarantee for flexible rates or for a late arrival/key-safe check-in.
- Amount held: Usually the amount of the first night.
- Release timing: We release the hold immediately after check-out; banks typically return it within 3–7 business days.
This hold is not a charge. It simply reserves funds so your check-in is ready the moment you arrive, even outside normal hours.
Paying for common add-ons: breakfast, parking, meeting room and more
A smooth payment flow also covers the extras many guests choose.
