At current rates it doesn't appear that $100 will likely be enough for these dates, but if you want to give it a shot you can try the following:

When bidding in Copenhagen at the 5* level you have ONE re-bid zones... NO re-bid zones at the 4* level.

Select 5* Copenhagen...

Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $100

If the above is rejected close the browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE....

Select 4* Copenhagen...

Bid $100

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I proceeded as advised and no luck.

 

Express deal for a 5* after the bid is coming out at $240.

 

Hotwire has a 5* near Kastrup Airport for $242.

 

Hotwire has the following 4* Hotels:

 

City Center / Tivoli $153

Frederiksberg $153

Vesterbro $143

 

In your view, how high would I need to go on priceline to get a 4*?

I will try a new strategy tomorrow.

Keep in mind that HOTWIRE and PRICELINE may rate the same hotels different as each uses their own criteria to assign star ratings to hotels (often they are the same, but when there is a different, HOTWIRE can assign a slightly higher rating)

Given the HOTWIRE prices above, would you be willing to bid up to $140 for a 4* on PRICELINE? Using MAPS and HOTELS.com do you have any viable options in the area at $140 or less? (what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel?)

I'm currently seeing the Scandic Sydhaven priced at $277/nite on Hotels.com.

Given your previous rejections and that you're only willing to go up another $10/nite at this time, i would retry:

Select 5* Copenhagen...

Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $110

If the above is rejected close the browser and use this link to re-access PRICE.LINE....

Select 4* Copenhagen...

Bid $110

No luck yesterday.  Thank you for the advice.

 

Considering that even a $153 hotel on hotwire becomes almost $200 after tax, I may end up renting an apartment in the end because the options are much better for that amount of money.

 

I will keep bidding at $110 max per day in the meantime on PRICELINE and hope for the best. I will keep you posted if the bid is successful.

Yes, taxes are high for Copenhagen. And so are the rates for your dates.

It would be a good idea to book a cancelable back-up and keep bidding with crossed thumbs.

Keep us updated on your progress and let us know what you ultimately decide or if we can be of further help.
