My old way of picking a place to stay was just to book a hostel for a week and figure it out later, but after getting stuck in a noisy spot in Bangkok for a whole month, I started using a spreadsheet with scores for wifi, noise, and price.

I got tired of bad internet messing up my work calls, so now I book a private room for two nights first to test it myself. If the connection is solid and it's quiet, I'll extend, otherwise I move on. How do you guys check a spot before you commit to a longer stay?

Heard a friend got stuck with TERRIBLE wifi in Lisbon.

Ugh, that's the worst. I mean it feels like every cafe or hotel promises great wifi and then it just dies. Maybe it's just me but it's everywhere now, not just when you travel.
