Debra Cooke, 51, was evacuated from Taplow Tower and put in a room with her 29-year-old daughter and 18 and 14-year-old siblings and their two dogs until they demanded to be moved.

She said: "I'm told we are could be here for eight weeks. At first they wanted four of us in one room. I wasn't having that.

"It's a s***hole. The comments on TripAdvisor are correct. I'm not eating the food.

"It was like a hostel on Saturday night rather than a hotel."

Robert Lloyd, 35, of Burnham Tower, said: "Camden Council are footing the bill for rooms, breakfast and dinner for 28 days."

Stuart Phillips, 47, of Taplow Tower, said: "No one is happy and it's only been two nights.

"I didn't even want to move out my home. I tried to fight it.

"I'm in the basement and I have no windows. I can't stand it. Last night was a mess and everyone was upset.

"Almost everyone has demanded to change their rooms. I've got a flooded toilet. I get wet feet."

Kalice Cooke, 29, said: "The rooms are f***ing disgusting. My bed is still broken."

Camden Council is rehousing 800 residents from the Chalcots Estate after tests revealed the cladding on its four tower blocks is fire hazard.

Families began moving in with their children and dogs over the weekend and the council has paid for 65 rooms for at least 28 days including buffet breakfast and dinner.

Last year The Sun revealed the Britannia chain is charging taxpayers tens of thousands of pounds a week to provide homes to asylum seekers.

As the number of asylum seekers arriving in Britain increased in 2015/16 and Britannia raked in £14.2million after scoring a deal with G4S, Clearel and Serco.

In 2014, Britannia was ranked worst hotel chain for the second year running by Which! magazine.

Owner and chief executive Alex Langsam, 77, has non-domicile tax status on the basis of his Austrian father.

His personal fortune is estimated at £70million.

A search of company records reveals Britannia Hotels paid Langsam more than £3million during 2015 in “general expenses”.

Another wrote: "Hotel rooms are mouldy and smoky."

Others said they found mouse traps, branded the rooms "disgusting" and complained of thefts from their rooms.

One said it was the "Worst hotel ever" They added: "Simply put the hampstead hotel is disgusting. I have never stayed in a worse hotel than this, the bathroom smells of pee, seriously pee! I dread to think what a blacklight would reveal."

One angry guest wrote: "Next door is a guy who has prostitutes every night.

I have to wear headphones. It stinks of tobacco and marijuana!"

Families in Camden have described the removal and evacuation of the tower blocks as "chaos" and some families have refused to move out.

The family-of-four were given two rooms at the hotel for two weeks and will also receive an £80 tab per day to provide food and toiletries.
