Accommodation in the Soho telephone exchange? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hotel

'accommodation' is the definition.
(type of accommodation)

'in the soho telephone exchange?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'HOTEL' is hidden within 'soho telephone exchange'.

(Other definitions for hotel that I've seen before include "Stop on journey perhaps" , "Ritz or Dorchester?" , "Monopoly token" , "Lodging establishment" , "----- de Ville - a town hall in France" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
