Place for refreshment, old and without changes (5)
I believe the answer is:
oasis
'place for refreshment' is the definition.
'oasis' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'Place of refreshment ' mean 'oasis' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'oasis'). I am not certain of the 'for refreshment' bit.
'old and without changes' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation as in OT - Old Testament).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'without changes' becomes 'as is' (I've seen this in another clue).
'o'+'asis'='OASIS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oasis that I've seen before include "water you'll want here" , "source of water" , "Fertile patch in a desert" , "Fertile tract in a desert" , "Place of calm in troubled times" .)
