Front desk people were great. Room was quite even though it was right across from the train station. Wonderful breakfast. Rooms nice size and very clean. Would definitely stay there again. Only a half hour from the airport why stay in Zurich when this town is close and cute.

If you want a very comfortable and spotless hotel right by Lake Zurich without breaking the bank, then this is the place for you. Horgen is a 15 minute train ride from Hauptbahnhof. It renders the premium you’ll be asked to pay for a similar hotel in the city centre totally unnecessary. Both the lake and Horgen train station are right in front of the property.
