We were visiting long standing friends who had a party in Thalwil but lived near Lachen. We found it was a really easy train journey to the hotel from Zurich airport. The hotel is then a 3 minute walk from Thalwil station. The hotel is opposite the train station from which you can travel, very conveniently, to other parts of Switzerland it you wish. Lake Zurich is about a 5 minute walk ( downhill ) from the hotel and the river "buses" stop in close proximity to the point on the lake you reach by walking straight down from the hotel. You can then use the river buses to travel to other villages / towns etc around the lake. The hotel staff were great - really friendly and very helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable with a balcony which was very useful as it was very hot and humid during our visit and the only thing that could have improved the stay would have been air con or a fan. We only ate breakfast at the hotel but found that good and not unreasonable in cost terms. Altogether, a very good stay in an extremely decent place.
