'like hotel accommodation?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'like hotel accommodation?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' ('y' can be similar in meaning to 'like') and 'y' is present in the answer.
'accommodation?' could be 'room' (I have seen 'basic accommodation' mean 'room' so perhaps 'accommodation' could also mean 'room') and 'room' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roomy that I've seen before include "Extensive" , "Without cramping" , "Not cramped" , "generous" , "Spacious, can swing a cat in it" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
