Hôtel Restaurant Lacotel — Restaurant in Avenches

This is really a motel and not practical for traveler's using anything but a car. It is within a few minutes by car to Avenches which is known for its Roman ruins and museum. Although the hotel uses the word "lake" in French in its name, there is no lake to be seen from the hotel. The view is unspectacular unless you enjoy green fields. The room was utilitarian, but clean and functional, and most importantly, quiet. A single booking here will get you a single bed which could be a bit of a surprise for those used to king size. The breakfast was a quite good continental style. The bread was excellent. The hotel does serve dinner but I didn't try it, preferring instead to try a restaurant in Avenches. In summary, it was quite all right for a single night stay close...

Hotel Lacotel was a bit of surprise. First time in Avenches & found this place online. Upon arrival you wouldn't be too hyped as the front side of hotel looks like a Motel.

P.S a nice playground for children just on the...

This place was so much more than I expected, although I don't know what I was expecting. I booked it because I had tickets for Opera en Fête and it was the last place I could find in Avenches. I barely even looked at their website.||Imagine my surprise when I get to my room - cozy, clean, and efficient, with a BALCONY that overlooked a POOL! I was so lucky I threw my bathing suit into my bag at the last minute.||All the staff were lovely and the bread at breakfast was amazing!||I had no car, so I used the bus to get into Avenches - there's a couple buses an hour, but they stop pretty early in the evening. A taxi from Avenches station to the Lacotel at 2330 on Saturday night was 25CHF, but I didn't want to walk along dark country roads for...
