Meal inside the German hotel (6)
I believe the answer is:
dinner
'meal' is the definition.
(I know that dinner is a type of meal)
'inside the german hotel' is the wordplay.
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the german' becomes 'der' ('the' in German).
'hotel' becomes 'inn' (inn is a kind of hotel).
'der' going around 'inn' is 'DINNER'.
(Other definitions for dinner that I've seen before include "Eat it in the strange red inn" , "grub" , "one making a row?" , "Main meal of day" , "What feeds" .)
