ξενοδοχείο --> Hotel

Yes, that is the correct translation. The first part of "ξενο", is where we get the word "xeno", such as "xenophobia". It means stranger. A hotel is a place to house strangers.

σινεμά --> Cinema / Movie

Also, is there any other way to spell Hotel & Cinema / Movie in Greek?

Thanks in advance
Correct as well, I believe.
