UK Visitor (standard) With Family Situation - Photo Of People Hugging Each Other In Front Door

I am a Masters Student in Germany and will be student while traveling to UK. My nationality is Pakistani

I want to visit my sister living in UK (British national) but she is living under government support Housing Benefit (since divorced). So if I want to go visit her is it better to go with General Visit Visa and book a hotel or living with her is not a problem?

Since her house is government supported and has only 2 rooms, and I have enough financial statement to have a journey on my expense, would it be better if I mention that I have a sister but I will stay in a hostel and the letter from my sister tells the same? What do I need from the sister side (like her Passport etc).

Also lastly I need the proof for the return to Germany, so as per my thinking will it be enough if I show them my enrollment letter with enrollment in the semester or do I need a special letter from university.
