Gasthaus

Traditional German guesthouse

A Gasthaus is a German inn or guesthouse, typically offering food, drink, and lodging.

The term appears in English when writers want to evoke Old World atmosphere or describe travel in German-speaking countries: We stopped at a Gasthaus for the night.

Similar to but smaller and more rustic than a hotel.
