Cheap lodging (6)
I believe the answer is:
hostel
'cheap lodging' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for hostel that I've seen before include "Low-cost accommodation building" , "Overnight lodging" , "Cheap lodging house for hikers" , "Cheap lodging-house for young travellers" , "B & B" .)
