Using the DB lounge in MUC for a couple hours of work?

Next week I'll have a couple of hours to spend in MUC before meeting up with a family member (coming from the airport). I wonder if the DB lounge in MUC is suitable for getting a couple hours work done (laptop + internet).

Just out of curiosity, if you not traveling, but rather waiting, why do you assume you would be able to entry the DB lounge?

You must hold a first class train ticket (or a Bahncard Comfort) to be allowed into the lounge.

IIRC, the DB lounges at Berlin Hbf and Frankfurt Flughafen Bahnhof have paid T-Mobile hotspot access, so I assume that the Munich Hbf will have the same.

If you don't have another form of web access (such as a broadband aircard), you can buy a 24-hour pass that is good at any T-mobile hotspot for the 24-hour duration. For example, I purchased a 24-hour pass at the Westin Leipzig on a Friday evening and was able to use it at the DB lounge in Berlin the next morning.

Thanks a lot for the answers so far. Are the DB lounges generally quite enough to be a good work environment?

Depends on the daytime.
In the morning and in the affternoon the lounges are very much crowded and quite noise.
Between 10am - 3pm its ok.

I wouldnt consider the DB lounge to have a phone conference though.

Thanks a lot! I'll be around from about noon to 4pm and don't plan on a phone conference so I should be fine.
