hostel

…The word hotel came into use in the UK and the US in the late 18th century to the early 19th century.

Eventually, the s sound of hostel was dropped and it became hotel, and in French it became hôtel, but it became established as a word with a different feel from inn, that is, a modern, high-class lodging facility. …
