“End of an era - Kensington Forum has closed for demolition”

Hotel is definitely closed ; site has been cordoned off for demolition. This hotel used to be a mainstay of various airline crews, including Singapore and American.

Hotel is definitely closed ; site has been cordoned off for demolition. This hotel used to be a mainstay of various airline crews, including Singapore and American. Rooms and service were reliably at the expected level. Breakfast was always fresh, and restaurant menu offered tasty fare, if not particularly sophisticated. Unfortunately, service level had somewhat declined after the closing was announced. Location steps away from Gloucester station was perhaps the strongest point, and a key reason why I kept returning over nearly 20 years.

We had a drink and snack in the bar and it was fine. Room was definitely in need of a refurb but breakfast was ok. Hotel was ok for what we paid but it seems it is to be demolished now.

I was a bit apprehensive about booking a room at this place after reading horrible reviews that called out the bad service quality of the staff since they were closing down soon. But the way I was welcomed, checked in, and served throughout my stay, it Seemed like unfair and unjust reviews that pointed out the staff’s poor service levels as a result of the hotel shutting down! I enjoyed my stay and even felt bad about the fact they were going to shut down soon! LOCATION: Nice location very close to the Gloucester Tube station that connects you to all points of interest easily DINE + DRINK: Didn't try the breakfast, but the PUB that is located inside the hotel is a cool place to hangout and filled with locals ROOM: I stayed in 736, so this review is based on that; VIEW: Random view of the street and city ; SIZE: Very spacious room; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part to put me to sleep; BATHROOM: Bathtub based shower that was quite small; TOILETRIES: OK cosmetics. FACILITIES: Compact Gym with a basic range of weights and Cardio machines that is good for a decent workout. SERVICE: Friendly staff that took care of all our needs with a smile and made us feel pampered and well taken care of. Special Shout out to MAX at the front desk for a warm welcome experience! HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free high-speed Wi-Fi that works well all over the property. Big Plasma TV screen dishing out dozens of channels spanning sports, news, music, movies and a wide variety of entertainment in primarily ENGLISH language
