Old Boy says they are being housed in 4-star hotel accommodation in the UK and in tents in the rest of Europe. This is clearly a flawed comparison which understandably he has not backed up with evidence. To your credit, you have tried to help him out with some anecdotal evidence.
In essence, hotels in the UK and Europe are used. All European countries seem to use a variety of accommodation.
How do you know that they were quite happy living in tents or worse?
Most do seek asylum in countries that they pass through, we don't take as many asylum seekers as our European peers. It's those with connections to the UK and other reasons who continue on here across the risky English channel. Of the top ten countries accepting refugees, only Poland, Turkey and Germany are in Europe and even Turkey is only partly in.

Can't see the word "all" in the quote either.
32,000 in UK hotels.
From the quoted article, the Irish
moved them into tents.
Are they staying in hotels along there way here? Any evidence of that?
Germany's use of hotels seems to have been over 10 years ago and in a period of high demand. They tend to use large centres instead.

The site already houses around 5,000 people in what are essentially shared tents in aircraft hangers.

In fact, the LAF currently plans to expand the Tegel facility to make room for 8,000 refugees, but that will only be possible until 2025

We don't have an automatic duty to house UK citizens, so why do we mysteriously have a duty to house asylum seekers.
There is the well known case of a family living safely in Turkey with a home, father with a job, etc, but they wanted to go to Canada, but Canada said no. They got in a dinghy to cross the Med and all but one of the family died as a result. How was that seeking "safety"?
