Hotel took in Liam recoiling from such unpleasant communication (8)

'such unpleasant communication' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'hotel took in liam recoiling' is the wordplay.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet).
'took in' becomes 'ate' (take in can mean to eat).
'recoiling' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'liam' back-to-front is 'mail'.
'h'+'ate'+'mail'='HATEMAIL'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
