Europe's Most Expensive WiFi Hotels

It's quite obvious that we love free hotel WiFi. That means that we pay careful attention to the hotels that offer it and those who don't. Well ITPro in the UK cares too and they just released the results of a Webaroo survey that tracked down Europe's costliest hotels for internet access.

London didn't fare so well as it's among one of the most expensive European cities for internet charges with 19.70 pounds as the average cost for 24-hour access. Such offending properties include the Hilton and the Ritz who charge 20 pounds.

But if that sounds bad, consider the Ritz Bayerischerof in Munich who have the gall to charge 25.87 pounds per day!

Webaroo President Brad Husick also said that just because you paid for the internet doesn't mean things will run smoothly.

"On top of [expensive internet charges], many hotels place a limit on the amount of data you can receive in that period, preventing large downloads or the sending of large presentation files without extraordinary surcharges."

Man, and we thought paying for a crappy WiFi signal was bad enough.
