My T-Mobile account includes US T-Mobile hotspots but not foreign ones like those in LH lounges.

Every hotel has a different Internet access plan, and whether the price suits you compared to a cafe depends on your needs. Usually you have a choice of one hour or 24 hours. Don't be surprised if the 24 hour plan costs 15 to 20 Euros, and the one hour plan is half of that.
