Indigo - Paddington usually have Exec rooms available for reward nights.

The Exec rooms are not huge but quite stylish & modern.

They also offer free Internet/Movies for Plats.

I've stayed at the HI Oxford Circus & found pretty much everything (with the exception of the location) very average & rather uninspiring.

They certainly didn't appear too keen to offer me anything in the way of Plat upprades.

It is (just enough room to walk around the bed), but as I was on a 2 for 1 rate, plus an award rate for a third night, I was pretty happy to be there versus another Holiday Inn Express. I'd stay again.

That room (Tom's) looks significantly smaller than the one I received. Mine had an odd shape, which gave it more space. It was still a small room, but fine for one person.

The bathroom was plenty spacious, though, as I recall.

So whether this hotel will work for you may depend on 1) how many in your party and 2) how much waking time you plan to spend in your room (not to mention whether or not you have a tendency to claustrophobia!).


P.S.: I wonder why so many people seem to take the Heathrow Express rather than Heathrow Connect, which is less than half the price.

stayed over christmas last year.

nothing special to report. i was using up free nights from last year's promotion. stay 2 get 1.

Anyway, the room was clean. nothing special for me. don't stay on the street side, it can be pretty noisy with traffic and people, particularly early in the AM

I should have gone for the IC Mayfair.

How are the beds here? I normally do Hiltons, but find in the UK that a lot of them, especially Doubletree, tend to have worse beds than in the states. I don't mind the size, but I do need a nice mattress.

Dragging an old thread up again. I've book 2 nights in April. I know it seems close to the station, but if I'm arriving off the Heathrow express with a relatively large suitcase, is it a backbreaker to haul it to the hotel?

Not really, it's flat and just down the road. Come out of the front of the station, towards the bakerloo line and the Hilton, then head up the ramp and carry straight down the road. Not as close as the Hilton, but still walk-able.

I can second this, stayed here a lot. Very convenient and a short wall with no stairs to get there from Heathrow Express.
