All 4 star wins in Seoul seem to be the Renaissance Hotel. Does this mean that the other areas are free zone bids?

Thank You. If not, which hotels come under teh zones and are those zones appropriate for a 1st time visitor/ tourist?

Thanks

One of the last Europe hotels on which I bid never gave any counter-offers. Just all of a sudden one day my bid was accepted. You don't always get those counters.

<a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1492259-10515014" target="_blank">Expedia</a> (link from here under the support page) can be another quick way to check day-by-day rates. You can enter a range a dates, maybe starting a day or so before the problem day and a day or so after, and then see if the rates for your day are unusually high.

Thank you , I will let you know how i get on!

I will also use your link.

Cologne hotels seem quite reasonable compared to dutch ones!

I dont want to end up bidding higher on priceline than i would get through another discount site!!

Newbie here, so hope my question is okay.

I have accommodation for 2 nights of a 3 night trip in Cologne, but having difficulty Priceline wise to secure a room for 1st June 2010.

I looked at all the successful bids for Cologne 5 star, and they seem to range from $54 to $65 dollars for a night

However, i have been incrementing my bid from $56 to my last bid of $78 and still no luck. Not being asked to up bid by x amount, just a no!

Any ideas? or suggestions?

I know I have a lot of time left, but just want to get the first day I arive in Cologne booked!

I looked up some 4* hotels and it seems that Friday 7th and Saturday 8th are more expensive than the other two nights. CitizenM Hotel, for example, prepaid rate (excluding city tax) is 109 euro on Friday; 119 euro on Sat. night and only 89 euro on Sunday and Monday nights. So it would, perhaps, make sense to break up your nights accordingly on PRICELINE, if you want to keep rates down. Of course, I can understand that this arrangement may not not suit you!

I think you wil have more luck if you try same numbers for 5 star. Tripadvisor amsterdam forum has some great threads on 5 star priceline. Good Luck!
