Is hospitality a concrete noun word?

No, "hospitality" is not a concrete noun.

Here's why:

* Concrete nouns refer to things that are tangible, that you can touch or see. Examples: table, cat, book, rain.

* Abstract nouns refer to things that are intangible, like ideas, concepts, emotions, and qualities. Examples: love, happiness, justice, hospitality.

Hospitality is an abstract noun because it represents a concept: the act of welcoming and treating guests with kindness and generosity. You can't physically touch or see "hospitality."
