Update: this hotel is now officially rebranded as The Cura Hotel Kensington - A Tribute Portfolio Hotel. The restaurant is open (for breakfast as well as lunch/dinner). Rooms are renovated and comfortable, I expect prices will increase soon as it is now quite a good option, comparable to the Xenia nearby. Although they might keep prices a little low for the time being to get some more positive reviews up, as they were (rightfully) receiving very scathing reviews during the renovations.
