Hotels/FBO's WITHOUT Free Wi-Fi
Post away people. The hotels probably won't care if they appear here but word might just filter back to the handling agents that they need to spend £15 a month.

Most Hotels in Asia/ South Pacific rob you blind for this service...

Free internet in this part of the world is still a luxury...

Granted the Kempinski in GVA is an expensive place to stay in.

However they do have free wi-fi access in the bar/restaurant (2nd Floor) and reception area (1st Floor). There are also a couple of Macs in the bar area that are online 24/7 and available for guests to use.

In the last month I've stayed at the following, either no wifi or something like £15 a session,

Mercure, Anamasse Airport,
IBIS at CDG Airport,
Mercure Queens at Cheltenham.
Hotel Winkelreid at Stanstad. (at Pilatus site)

all Best Western hotels have free in the UK, don't know in Europe
