Are they same meaning?
Do (A) and (B) have the exactly same meaning or are they slightly different?
(A) What time did you arrive at hotel? (B) What time did you get to hotel? (A') I was tired when I got home. (B') I was tired when I arrived home.
They mean the same thing, but "get to" is more informal and "arrive at" is more formal. The difference in formality isn't very big, though.
By the way, "hotel" needs to be "the hotel". "Home" is just an odd exception to the rules where an article isn't used. :) - Kef

And why don't you say "got to home"? You say "got to the hotel".
"Home" is an adverb in this context, just like "here" or "there", for example. Although my personal opinion is that grammarians invented the explanation that it's an adverb because they don't know why no article or preposition is used either. :)
