The accommodation for failed asylum seekers cost £6.4m to run last year but only housed 14 families for an average of three nights each.

Total running costs for 2014/15 were estimated at £6,398,869 – or more than £457,000 for each family which passed through its doors.

The building, a former hotel, has nine apartments designed to create a “family-friendly environment”, according to a report by the Independent Monitoring Board.

“Each apartment has a kitchen and lounge area, family bathroom and between one and three bedrooms to accommodate up to six people,” it said.

Facilities include a “multi-sensory room”, a gym, basketball court, family and visitor lounge areas, a well-stocked library with a range of books in different languages, access to computers and the internet, landscaped gardens including a sensory garden, and children’s play areas.

The site has “24 hour healthcare, including daily access to a GP” and a chaplaincy, mosque and prayer room.
There is also a “café and dining area, where families can eat with other residents three times a day, or prepare and cook in their apartments”.
