I stayed at the Airways hotel before catching an early morning flight from Heathrow. Its proximity to the station makes it ideal for exactly this purpose with the Heathrow Express leaving during the day and most of the night. The room rate was also very reasonable (£35 booked in advance via reservations website). However the rooms are very small, it's noisy and old and the single room at the top of the house has the most disgusting bathroom I have ever seen, with damp climbing up the walls. It was also marginally smaller than a brrom cupboard. I would ask to inspect the room before paying, but would not discount it completely as it very close to Paddington. However the road is lined with hotels, so might be worth shopping around.
