Das Restaurant lebt von der Location. Bei Fr. 24 für das billigste (das nächst-teurere 48.-) Glas Wein sind die Ansprüche halt hoch. Nachtessen soweit durchaus ok, gut aber nicht wirklich 5*. etwas lieblos, Service (zu) engagiert. Ausstattung mager. Da muss mehr kommen.

We absolutely loved our stay and can't wait to go back! Micheal was phenomenal! He was professional, kind, and fast. The room cleaning staff did great work and was flexible with our needs since we had a little one. We look forward to our next stay.

Wir waren für eine Nacht anläßlich des Events "Heinmann & Friends" im Hotel und sind vom Ambiente, Lage, Service, Frühstück und dem Team absolut begeistert und werden wieder kommen und können das Hotel auch uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at hotel Alex! Was a truly beautiful and romantic stay and we loved our room (and lake view upgrade :)) ) and the bar/restaurant areas which also overlook the lake! We enjoyed the location away from the city and easy access to several popular sites for hikes etc. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and send us off with a departure gift and a voucher. The interiors were impeccable and everything looked and felt new (in our room also) even though the hotel has been operating for a while.
We did not enjoy the spa. It was great that it was empty as we visited the sauna and hammam and it really is only big enough for a couple but the pool…hmmm the water was cold and we noticed dirt gathered in corners. Would love to see it being used more at a jacuzzi temperature as it is way too small to swim in but too cold to just sit in it. (This is why I have given the service 4 stars)
Would happily return!

I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with my recent experience at your esteemed luxury hotel. Having frequented your establishment on several occasions specifically for the a la carte breakfast and to introduce friends to your hotel, I was taken aback by the unexpected change in your breakfast offering during my visit this morning.
On my previous visits, the a la carte breakfast was a highlight of my experience, providing a personalized and enjoyable start to my day. However, today, I was informed that the a la carte option was no longer available and that I would have to opt for the full breakfast buffet menu. This change was not only disappointing but also perplexing, especially considering that the hotel appeared to be far from full capacity.
The flexibility and attention to individual customer needs have always set your hotel apart in my mind. Today’s experience, however, felt like a stark departure from the high standards of customer service and accommodation I had come to associate with your brand. It was disheartening to see such rigidity in policy, particularly in a scenario where a more personalized approach could have been easily extended.
I understand that policies and offerings evolve, but I firmly believe that how these changes are implemented and communicated to loyal customers is crucial. An explanation or a heads-up about such significant changes to your service offerings would have been appreciated, allowing for a better-prepared visit or the opportunity to make alternative arrangements.
I hope my feedback is received in the constructive spirit in which it is intended. I look forward to your response and to understanding how you plan to address such concerns in the future to ensure the continued high standard of customer service and satisfaction that your hotel is known for.

Wunderschönes Hotel mit der schönen Aussicht auf den See. Exclusive Suites und perfekter aufmerksamer Service, abgerundet mit Luxuriösem Ambiente

Was für ein tolles Hotel! Wir waren zwei Nächte in der Penthouse Suite 703. Exklusives Design und ein Traumblick. Alles top gepflegt und sauber. Mitarbeiter äußerst freundlich und aufmerksam. Frühstück umfangreich und sehr lecker. Und näher am Wasser geht nicht. Einfach herrlich! Abendessen ebenfalls sehr lecker und hochwertig. Wellnessbereich etwas klein aber fein. Mit dem Hotelboot in 25 Minuten in die Züricher Altstadt. Top!! Wir können das Alex nur empfehlen. Man muss hier gewesen sein !

Location is great but i can't say the same for the staff... we got the brunch as a gift unfortunately it was ruined by the totally incompetent and arrogant staff (Waiter and front desk) telling us we were trying to rip the off as the voucher had been used (apparently it was claimed before we even received it, and they insisted that their IT Systems NEVER have any issues...). The manager was well trained but after having received the wrong dishes, and a very disappointing experience with his employee we really can't recommend this place for brunch. The brunch is also overpriced for what you get. Fruit selection was ridiculously small and the a la carte items are not giving enough variety to justify nearly 100.- / person.

Sehr schönes Hotel direkt am See, service war erste Klasse und das Zimmer ebenfalls super geräumig, gemütliches Bett und gut eingerichtet. Es liegt näher an Zürich als man denkt, direkt in der Umgebung gibt es aber eher weniger - Auto ist eigentlich ein Muss. Einziges Manko: Die Strasse ist sehr laut.

Einen Stern weil das Essen wirklich sehr gut ist allerdings kann man das vom Personal nicht behaupten. Meine Eltern waren über das Wochenende im Hotel Gäste und bestätigten mir das selbe. Haben im Restaurant an meinem Geburtstag ein Tisch reserviert, der Tisch wurde weder schön hergerichtet noch sonstiges. Unsere Speisen wurden aufgenommen ( 5 Vorspeisen, 4 Hauptgänge, 2 Flaschen Wein), nach über einer Stunde wurden wir nach der Vorspeise gefragt ob wir noch ein Dessert wollen. ALLE 4 Hauptgänge wurden vergessen. Es kam keine Entschuldigung oder eine kleine Geste als Wiedergutmachung, nichts. Die anderen 3 Male als wir im Sommer auf der Terrasse waren, wurde ebenfalls immer ein essen vergessen und haben dann eine Stunde auf Trüffel Pommes gewatet. Ebenfalls keine Entschuldigung oder sonstiges. Das Personal braucht ewig für alles, meistens stehen die einfach nur rum und unterhalten sich unter Kollegen. Kompetentes Servicepersonal wäre wünschenswert. Essen ist wirklich klasse aber der Service ist wirklich schrecklich, werde es niemanden mehr empfehlen.

We took my parents and 2 year old to the hotel restaurant for an early dinner and we all loved it. The food was wonderful, service was great and the location by the lake is perfect.
What made it even better was how everyone treated our daughter. They smiled, they waited for her to walk to the table, they were attentive, friendly and there was no judgement at any point during the meal. We all had a brilliant evening and already intend to go back!

Hmmm eigentlich ganz gut. Total daneben ist....... Zum Salat als Vorspeise gibt es kein Brot. Ausser man bestellt und bezahlt es anschließend auch noch. Es wird warm mit Butter und einem Tomaten Humus serviert, was gar nicht nötig wäre. Es geht ja nur um ein Stück Brot zum Salat. Absolut daneben.

Mein Aufenthalt im Hotel war absolut fantastisch! Das Personal war ausserordentlich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer waren komfortabel und makellos sauber und das Hotel Restaurant war auch sehr gut.

Schlimmer Kundenservice, arrogantes Personal. Zimmer dreckig, Klimaanlage so laut, dass man nicht schlafen kann. Berechnen minibar, obwohl nichts genommen wurde. Nie wieder!

Beautiful hotel located next to the lake. The service is attentive with nice food, but once the restaurant gets full it becomes a bit chaotic. Our dish was mixed up with another table. The correction was made quickly however, I was surprised to return home and learn that the leftover takeaway was not my dish. Nevertheless the quality of food and vibe is nice- Just seems to be shorthanded at times.

Beautiful setting and delicious food! Definitely coming back :-)
Das Frühstück am Morgen ist sehr reichhaltig und es gibt viele verschiedene Speisen. Am besten haben mir das frische Obst und die süßen Gerichte (Pancakes & French Toast) gefallen, die man bestellen konnte. Auch die frisch gepressten Säfte und der Kaffee haben mir sehr geschmeckt.
Das Abendessen hingegen ist recht einfach und entspricht weniger einer gehobenen Küche, die man vermuten mag. Die Gerichte sind gut, aber es mangelt hier an Feinheiten, auf die ansonsten bei diesem Hotel sehr geachtet werden. Zum Salat wird zum Beispiel kein Brot gereicht. Ein alternativer Gruß aus der Küche fehlt. Jede Beilage muss extra bestellt werden und die Auswahl ist leider dürftig. Geschmacklich ist es in Ordnung, nur bekomme ich solche Gerichte zu einem geringeren Preis in nahezu jedem Standardrestaurant. Aus diesem Grund bin ich mit dem Auto am zweiten Abend in einen anderen Ort gefahren, wo bereits der Salat deutlich raffinierter gestaltet war. Das Dressing im Alex Lake war zum Beispiel etwas überladen mit Parmesan. Die Nudeln wiederum schwammen im Öl. Wenn man selbst kochen kann, weiß man, dass das auch anders geht. Ich würde mir für die Zukunft eine raffiniertere Abendküche wünschen und hoffe, dass meine Kritik konstruktiv aufgenommen wird. Letztlich ist alles aber Geschmacksache und auch hierfür scheint sich Publikum zu finden.
Abschließend möchte ich nochmal ein großes Kompliment an das äußerst sympathische und freundliche Personal ausrichten! Mein Aufenthalt hat mir sehr gut gefallen und ich würde dieses Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen.
