We picked up a rumor on German photographer Mareen Fischinger's blog that the not-overly-spectacular Balmoral Hotel in Barcelona had free WiFi. Since this hotel has rooms going for about half the price of the last Barcelona hotel we found WiFi at, we thought we'd better check it out.

Search the Balmoral Hotel website as you will, the best we can find is a mention of modem connections in every room. Nothing about access, certainly no mention of WiFi, and no magic phrase "it's free" either. So we emailed them to check and guess what:

We have wifi Internet in the whole hotel. It is free access for our guests.

Woo-hoo! Barcelona rooms at €60 ($75) a night, WiFi included. We are definitely not complaining about that.
