However, the operator of the property, located on Broughty Ferry Road, has pushed back.
Speaking to Dundee-based newspaper The Courier, a spokesperson for Access Accommodation said the site is used as an “extended stay serviced studio apartment block” for “lawful occupants”.

The spokesperson added: “Access Accommodation does not operate as a Home Office asylum accommodation site.
“The building provides serviced accommodation to lawful occupants. We do not comment on individual guests or disclose operational details, for privacy and safety reasons.”
“Misinformation has already caused distress to occupants who have no connection to the allegations being circulated.”
Bookings, which can be made on their website, include a number of rooms and studio apartments.
The Home Office confirmed to the newspaper that the site was not being used to house asylum seekers.
However, a group known as ‘Dundee Patriots’ has said they will continue to protest at the hotel, labelling press reports as “b*****t.
A post on social media sharing pictures of a recent demonstration read: “Last night’s peaceful protest and first of many at this site.”
Meanwhile, Police Scotland has confirmed that two men have been arrested following protests in the city.
A 38-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with threatening and abusive behaviour in Reid Square on Sunday, 28 December; while a 58-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with a disturbance at a property on Broughty Ferry Road on Monday, 29 December.
