Step‑Free Stay at Boutique Hotel Zilversluis: How Our Mobile Ramp and 80 cm Doorways Enhance Accessibility

Travel should feel welcoming from the moment you arrive. If you’re planning a Step‑Free Stay in Zeeland, Boutique Hotel Zilversluis offers a practical, well‑thought‑out arrival with a step‑free entrance, a mobile ramp on request, and 80 cm doorways on the ground floor. In this guide, you’ll see exactly how these features support smooth access, how to plan your route from car or public transport, and what to request when booking to make your stay even easier.

What “Step‑Free Stay” Means at Our Hotel

A Step‑Free Stay focuses on minimizing physical barriers from curb to room.

• Entrance: Step‑free, with a mobile ramp available on request to bridge small thresholds for wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers.
• Door widths (ground floor): ≥ 80 cm, designed to accommodate many mobility aids for safer, more comfortable passage.
• Elevator: Available with limited reach; not all rooms are accessible by elevator.
• Sanitary facilities: Accessible toilet on the ground floor.
• Bathrooms in rooms: Walk‑in showers with a low step; there is no fully adapted bathroom.
• Assistive items on request (limited): Reading lamp, anti‑slip mat, and shower stool.
• Service dogs: Welcome; please notify in advance.

Why it helps: Step‑free entry reduces lift‑and‑tilt maneuvers, wider doorways make turns and transfers easier, and a low‑step shower lowers trip risk. The ramp adds flexible access when you need just a bit more clearance or a smoother gradient at the entrance.

Getting Here: Parking, Drop‑Off, and Public Transport

Eliminating friction begins before check‑in. Here are your options for arriving comfortably and safely.

Accessible parking at Garage Kadehof (approx. 200 m)

• Accessible spaces: Located next to the elevator in Garage Kadehof.
• 24/7 in/out; indicative rate €18.00 per 24 hours.
• Hotel discount €4.00 via reception: pick up a QR/validation code at check‑in, then scan it at the payment machine before exiting. The discount is applied per 24 hours.

Tip: If you prefer minimal walking, park close to the garage elevator. The straightforward route from Garage Kadehof to the hotel is a short, mostly level surface walk.

Convenient curbside drop‑off

• Short loading/unloading is allowed right in front of the door (Kade 7). This is ideal if you’re using a wheelchair, traveling with a service dog, or carrying medical equipment.

How the mobile ramp works

• The mobile ramp is available on request to create a smooth, step‑free path at the entrance when needed.

Ground‑floor passage: 80 cm doorways

• Door widths on the ground floor are at least 80 cm, supporting movement with many wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility scooters.
• Wider passageways reduce awkward angles, helping you keep momentum and balance.

Elevator considerations

• When booking, ask for an easily accessible room so our team can match you with a suitable route and floor.

• On request (limited availability), we can provide:

  • Reading lamp
• Prefer a calmer environment? Quiet rooms are available on request.
