The temples are actually meant for guests. The temples actually are not meant for our eating and sleeping. Of course we may eat and sleep while we are there, but we should be conscious of the fact of what the real purpose of the temple is. Prabhupada said for ourselves, we can live under a tree, but actually we have these temples for bringing people to give them Krishna consciousness. Therefore this is the real purpose of the temple.
