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.
