A room with Wi-Fi is as preferable as a room with a view for hotel guests these days.

A free room upgrade on arrival is the thing that guests put at the top of their hotel wish list, a survey by online travel company ebookers found.

But in joint second place in the list of items that would make a hotel stay more rewarding were beautiful views from the room and free Wi-Fi.

Good connections also beat other treats such as robes and slippers in the room, airport limo services and complimentary cocktails on arrival.

Based on responses from 2,000 UK adults, the poll also showed that other things that make a holiday more rewarding included good restaurants and fine weather when it was cold at home.

But 20 per cent of those from Cardiff who were surveyed said they had never experienced a rewarding holiday.

Ideally, those polled preferred European destinations, with three in five not keen on having to travel for more than four hours.

As many as 17 per cent put their pals before their partner, preferring to travel with a friend.
