Priceline Hotel: 5* Barcelona (Las Ramblas North - Paseo de Gracia) Renaissance Barcelona Hotel

[nominee]

Hi there,

I'm looking to book a 5* hotel in Barcelona - Las Ramblas area (North or South).

Can anybody help confirm that I will have 3 re-bidding zones? (Llobregat - Barcelona Airport (BCN),

Sagrada Familia, and Sant Gervasi - Gracia - all three do not have 5* hotels as an option)

Please click each of these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links, then reply to this thread and we'll have a look at your post above.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!

Thanks.

Clicked both - Done!

[thereuare]

Yes, you have your THREE re-bid zones correct (but always double check just before bidding to make sure that nothing has changed since you last checked)

If you need help with a specific strategy let us know the date(s) of your stay and your maximum bid and we will advise accordingly.

Thanks - I'm just looking for the cheapest way to get a 5* in either of these 2 areas :) I think my strategy would be to start around $120, and go up until I'm successful.

[thereuare]

You should first check to see the best rate you're able to get at a 5* hotel thru conventional booking channels (using MAPS and HOTELS.com or BiddingHelper.com) to make sure that you don't overbid. As well, there is/may be a point where you eventually get too high and decide a 5* vs. a 4* isn't worth the extra expense.

If you let us know your maximum bid we'll suggest a strategy to follow, and please click each of the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links before replying.

Thanks.

This HOTWIRE property matches previous reports for the Hilton Barcelona so that would be my best guess for this one.

Do you want to go with this HOTWIRE property, bid higher on PRICELINE, or is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?
