For Budapest (where I live), the (chain-owned) hotels are pretty much the only places where you can't have free wifi (I don't know what are they thinking). The city is actually full of free hotspots, pretty much all the caffes, restaurants (MacDonalds too), gas stations, shopping-malls have them. There are even full districts in the city which have 100% outdoor coverage (city sponsored, eg. 7.th district).

Last year I visited quite a few german cities, and the situation was pretty much the same, it wasn't difficult at all to find a free hotspot. Again, the big hotel chains asked for money, but the smaller ones had free hotspots.
