Is it better to travel abroad and stay in a hotel or a classmate's house?

I think it's better to stay in a hotel because many friends come to see me. Although I warmly invited them to stay at home (they have their own house), they still feel comfortable living in a hotel. Besides, it's convenient to go shopping or buy things. Where a friend is, he can rent a house alone. If he shares a room with someone else, it must be inconvenient. If you want to talk to your friend, just let him go to the hotel, and no one will bother you, right?
