International Hotel WiFi: Berlin Hotels As Bad As Others
Getting wireless internet access in hotels is still incredibly hit and miss, and it doesn't really seem to matter much where in the world you are. We've been thinking of a trip back to Germany's vibrant capital of Berlin, a big international city where many hotel guests would surely need good internet access, but things still don't look too good.
Take the luxury Grand Hyatt Berlin as a typical example: it offers Wifi in public areas of the hotel, as well as in meeting rooms, but you have to plug in your cables to get access in your room. The confusingly-named Golden Tulip Berlin Hotel Hamburg (we promise it's in Berlin, really) proudly advertises that it has wireless internet access available to its guests in all rooms and even dining facilities--but the catch is that you have to pay for it. And the Hilton Hotel Berlin has free WiFi to those using its Executive Lounge and Business Centre, but you have to pay up plenty to be one of those guests to start with.
Can other Berlin hotels step up to the plate? Let us know if you have any good Berlin WiFi experiences. And wherever you stay, keep asking hotel staff for free WiFi. We need a revolution!
