Tory defector Laila Cunningham, 49, who owns a £3.9million flat, is running an anti-crime campaign. But the £50-a-night New Dawn Hotel has been swamped by negative reviews, including claims it has been a target of theft.

A year ago, a guest wrote on Google: “Someone entered our room at night and stole from us.” In an apparent reference to the same incident, another said: “We lost over £2000.”

Our probe revealed the hotel, near Kensington Palace, is owned by Plaza Continental Hotels Ltd. A Companies House filing says Cunningham owns five per cent of shares under her old married name Laila Dupuy.

The hotel's website boasts “we pride ourselves on going the extra mile to make your stay in London truly comfortable”.

But one woman complained on Google, where the hotel has an average 2.7 star rating: “Rooms stink... you cant open the door, not safe place for [women]... especially.”
