A hostelry is a pub or a hotel — an inn where people drink, eat, or sleep. It is an old, slightly word. You might meet it in a story set in the past, on a sign that wants to sound traditional, or when someone is being playful. Everyday speakers say pub, inn, hotel, or . Though actually it covers both a drinking house and a place to stay, so it is wider than (a cheap dorm for ) and not as grand as a modern hotel chain. Do not picture a youth unless the writer is joking.
客棧；旅店；酒館（古雅、書面）。不是青年宿舍那種 hostel。
組成From Middle English hostelerie, from Middle French hostellerie, from Old French hostelerie / ostelerie. By surface analysis: hostel + -ry (a place connected with).
