Tips / Travel

In our mobile day and age, staying connected is important to any traveler, meaning in-flight and hotel WiFi are priorities for travelers. Not only is it mandatory it be available, it is hopefully complimentary or affordable and fast. While fighting hotels for free WiFi continues to be a battle, website HotelWiFiTest.com can help you ensure you are getting a safe, reliable connection.

 

Before logging on, signing up and purchasing, test the connection and make sure you don’t get bamboozled with fees and frustrated with super slow results. HotelWiFiTest.com allows consumers to check-in and test the WiFi strength at their hotels. Based on these tests, conducted through phones, tables and computers, the website ranks the WiFi connectivity of hotels throughout the city. The company recently announced places to display individual hotel WiFi speed and quality on major travel booking websites, including Hotels.com, Expedia, Booking.com and Trip Advisor, meaning now you can even know before you go and base your planning decisions on WiFi connectivity.

 

As of press time, 205 New York city hotels had been tested with 49 offering at least 10 Mbps; 72 offering 5 Mbps; and 126 hotels offering 2 Mbps. Da Vinci Hotel has the fastest WiFi in the city, and it is no cost. In London, Ham Yard Hotel ranked highest, and No. 1 went to Hotel Okura Amsterdam in the Dutch city. Other popular destination rankings include San Francisco, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Las Vegas.
