How does Google knows where have you been, even if you aren’t connected to any network? (No mobile data or wi-fi)

I’m currently traveling in Europe and I don’t have roaming on my cellphone, but somehow Google maps manage to know where I have been as soon as I connect to the hotel wi-fi.

Most modern phones have GPS built-in. This does not require a data connection to show location, but the wifi you connect to also has location data associated with it.
