House possibly let as guest accommodation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hotel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'guest accommodation' is the definition.
'hotel' can be an answer for 'accommodation' (type of accommodation). I am unsure of the 'guest' bit.

'house possibly let' is the wordplay.
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'let' anagrammed gives 'tel'.
'ho'+'tel'='HOTEL'

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hotel that I've seen before include "Monopoly token" , "Code word for letter H" , "Building with rooms to stay in" , "Letter of the alphabet" , "Somewhere to stay" .)
