Where you’ll be staying

Boutique Hotel Zilversluis is a quiet waterfront hotel in the historic center at Kade 7, 1234 AB Zilversluis, close to public transport and parking. You’ll find Zilversluis station approx. 800 m away (about 10 minutes on foot), a bus stop approx. 400 m away, and Garage Kadehof parking approx. 200 m away (daily rate approx. €18 with a €4 hotel discount; max height 2.05 m). EV drivers can use 4× Type 2 (11 kW) chargers in Kadehof, payable via app or contactless.

Which rooms are pet-friendly?

Pets are accommodated in select rooms only. Because availability is limited, the best approach is to request a pet-friendly room at the time of your booking inquiry.

• Room categories: The hotel offers Cosy, Deluxe, Suite, and Family Room categories. Pet eligibility is based on specific rooms within these categories and must be requested.
• Quiet preferences: If your pet is sound-sensitive, you can request a patio-side room, which are the quietest. Room assignment depends on availability within the pet-eligible inventory.
• Elevator access: The hotel has a limited elevator that does not reach all rooms. If you need elevator access in addition to a pet-friendly room, please mention both needs in one request so the team can allocate a suitable option whenever possible.
