B&B Zavel Antwerp
B&B Zavel is a stylish bed & breakfast in a renovated townhouse in the historic heart of Antwerp, within walking distance of the Grote Markt and the Cathedral. The house offers only a handful of rooms and focuses on personal service, authentic 19th-century details and a generous breakfast with regional products. A quiet courtyard offers a place to unwind after a day of city exploration.
One ground-floor room has been set up as an adapted room, with a wide door, a bed at a workable height and a walk-in shower with fold-down seat and grab rails. The main entrance is step-free thanks to a recent adaptation with an integrated ramp. The breakfast area and garden are on ground level. The upper floors are only reachable via a historic staircase.
Parking in the historic centre is limited; reserved spaces can be found in the surrounding streets. Parking Grote Markt and Parking Steen are a ten-minute roll away, partly over flat strips between the cobbles. The area around B&B Zavel is partly paved with cobbles, characteristic of historic Antwerp. For a more comfortable approach, choose the route along the Scheldt quays.
Good to know
- Reservation
- Book the **adapted ground-floor room explicitly** — it is one room within a small offering, and it is not specifically flagged as 'accessible' on Booking.
- Busy and quiet times
- City-break weekends (Friday-Sunday) and festival periods (Cadzand, Cathedral festival in summer) are the most expensive; February-March and November offer the best price.
- Things to note
- Adapted ground-floor room with walk-in shower and grab rails, breakfast area and garden on the same level. Upper floors only reachable via a historic staircase.
- Visit tip
- The surroundings have Antwerp cobbles — choose the route along the **Scheldt quays** for a more comfortable approach. Parking Grote Markt or Steen 10 min roll away.
