From room rates to data limits, here are five hotels we found in Brisbane with free Wi-Fi, including one where you get 1GB free per day.
Heading to Brisbane for work? We have created a list below of accommodation at five Brisbane locations with free Wi-Fi.
- Big hotel chains such as Novotel, Hilton and Sofitel charge for Internet access, which is generally a time-limited connection that can cost anywhere from $15 to $30. Independent hotels and apartments are much more likely to offer complimentary Internet.
- Of the hotels and apartments we looked at, most (apart from the big hotel chains) were doing away with wired Ethernet connections in the guest rooms.
- In our experience, hotel staff weren't generally very knowledgeable about the Internet service offered in the hotel where they worked. Of course this is a general statement, and you might find people working in hotels that are very knowledgeable about this topic.
- Hotels that generally offer free Wi-Fi generally don’t offer additional data packs, so if you use up your quota than you will have to wait 24 hours for your data quota to refresh. With the exception of the Meriton Apartments, the other four hotels listed below do not offer additional data packs.
