Silly question but if you use wifi is there a charge from the network at all?
If you need it then you can buy an international roaming package from your network. Most bars and things will have free wifi if you buy a drink though :)

Not from the network no (make sure 3G etc is switched off). You might have to pay for the wireless though, depends on the Hotel/Hotspot.
