Family hotels and homes in Thalwil

We’re a family of 3 and We stayed for 5 nights. The hotel was cozy and superb in every aspect. the staff were very kind and welcoming. the room was big enough and clean, not to mention the beautiful view of lake Zürich from the balcony. breakfast was fresh and diverse Room service was fast The hotel provided us everything we need for our child to make us comfortable I would definitely recommend staying at Alex Lake hotel. For me, Alex Lake will be my first choice whenever i am visiting Zürich again

The mattress was soft and large.

Proximity to downtown Thalwil and the railway station was wonderful. Two grocery stores were near by for any food necessities..

The view from my room and the restaurant was breathtaking. The food was exceptional, and the few saunas and a jacuzzi were more than excellent.

This is a super comfortable apartment in a convenient location — walkable to groceries and eateries, as well as to two train lines. The apartment has reserved off-street parking and all the comforts and amenities of home. The owner provided clear instructions (with pictures) of where to find all needed elements.

The breakfast was very good with variety's of fresh baked, , meats fruit , yogurt, eggs, coffee tea

Beautiful historic building right on the lake front. Excellent friendly helpful staff especially Claire. Cozy lounge. Delicious restaurent where Thomas Mann, Vladamir Lenin and Carl Jung atr. Museum quality art and furnishings. Walking distance to Jung Institute and easy access to train station. Wonderful view. It is not just famous hotel, it is an experience.

The location and spacious environment

Excellent front office people that made my 3rd visit into the hotel very convenient and pleasant. Always enjoy coming back to this place even though i didnt have the time to enjoy the pool nor the nice lobby that much.

The best hotel I stayed in my life.

I feel compelled to share my transformative experience at Five Hotel, where Manager Amindra Mahakumara has redefined luxury hospitality. The property's physical beauty is matched only by the extraordinary service culture Mr. Mahakumara has masterfully cultivated. From our arrival, it was clear that his leadership philosophy centers on proactive guest care. Mr. Mahakumara's personal touch was evident throughout - from his daily rounds delivering room service to his genuine interest in ensuring guests' comfort, both within the hotel and during their time in Zurich. As someone who leads my own organization, I found his management style both inspiring and educational. The coordination between departments was flawless, reflecting Mr. Mahakumara's exceptional training protocols. His team, from front desk to housekeeping, maintained immaculate standards with remarkable consistency. Their ability to anticipate rather than merely react to guest needs demonstrated the superior service culture he has established. A particular incident stands out: when a fellow guest accidentally left their iPad before a same-day flight, Mr. Mahakumara personally arranged international shipping to America. This level of attentive problem-solving exemplifies his commitment to guest satisfaction. Having experienced luxury hotels worldwide, the environment Mr. Mahakumara has created is truly distinctive. He achieves the perfect balance of five-star service while maintaining an atmosphere of genuine warmth. His leadership sets new standards in the industry, and we look forward to returning specifically because of the exceptional experience his management enables.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Between him and Simon (receptionist) handing off everything to each other, the stay was perfection.

The staff is very kind. The attention to detail is remarkable. The property is very charming. The food is delicious and very traditional. The location is also excellent.

Location, excellent value for whats paid.

It was the best hotel . I really enjoyed my time there.

Everything! The staff were very polite. The room was very clean and comfortable. And the location was fantastic!

It was a pleasure to return to this hotel: perfectly situated just steps from both tram and train stations, renovated, clean rooms and a warm, inviting lobby staffed by genuinely friendly people. The highlight is undoubtedly the generous breakfast buffet—served until 1 PM on Sundays—offering hot dishes, pastries, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, juices etc.

Friendly staff, good breakfast, good dinner in restaurant

Luxurious experience .. highly recommended
