It is slightly out of the way but does feel exclusive compared to the rest of the hotel. As I said, rooms are very nicely finished, little dressing room area too, wifi was good (15mb download).
Didn't have time to use the exec lounge unfortunately.
I'll definitely stay here again as these rooms are very nice compared to the older ones of the rest of the hotel.
Oh, just to add...SUPER quiet. You would honestly think you're in a capsule, I didn't hear any noise from anywhere at any point during my stay.

Didn't take any pictures and was only a pretty quick one night stay, but overall was impressed.

I can't remember, 5-7 or 7-8? I remember it was for a decent period. They have spirits and a decent selection of hot and cold food. But it's quite a small lounge. They often restrict access to those in Exec rooms and/or diamonds.
It's a refurbished heritage railway hotel, (Great Eastern, St Pancras etc) but there is little in the way of great views. Paddington is on the edge of the city centre.

Just to follow up on my previous questions, I have recently stayed at this hotel and did find it to be a good stay. For those wishing to see a report of the GWR Tower Room, you can find it in the trip report section of the forum as cross-linking I believe is not allowed

By "fiddly" controls on the AC that you later mention needed improvement, was the issue that you were never able to get the room cool enough?

This is great stuff, thank you. Many thanks for the link. Good to see positive feedback. When I discover the exact service hours of the GWR lounge I will post in case others find that useful too.
