Hi Maria-Christina, +1 to what Jeannine said - we run a coworking space in Berlin (http://co-up.de) and we do not offer hourly passes - the smaller pass is a day pass for 15 euro. We don't want members to use the space as a cybercafe - we want members to build relationships and be part of a community! This is why we offer a 4 days per month plan that's 25 euro - anyone doing the maths will become a 4-days member rather than a day pass.
Regarding visitors, my experience is that most people visiting our space while travelling are coworkers somewhere else. You could join the Coworking Visa <http://wiki.coworking.com/w/page/16583744/CoworkingVisa> program :). Hope this helps! Take care and "noroc" with your new space!
