I think it's a very good price (I was charged a total of 1.443 USD for the whole stay).
Thanks to the forum, I was almost sure of the hotel already before bidding.
I used your link to get to Hot.wire
Second bid in two days in London.
First attempt:
Mayfair > USD 106 > rejected
Second attempt:
Mayfair + Notting Hill > 111 USD > accepted
A close look at Express Deals before bidding is crucial, IMHO
First attempt: Westminster > $ 100 > rejected
Second attempt: Westminster + Mayfair > $ 107 > accepted
Used betterbidding [url=http://www.betterbidding.com/clicks/click.php?afsrc=1&id=40]PRICELINE[/url] link
I took it: Select Hotel Rive Gauche
Yes, I can still see it at an even lower price (USD 408 per night)
On the need for a room on busy dates (10-12 September) in Paris, I found an attractive USD 207 per night for a 4* in Saint Germain des Prés - Jardin du Luxembourg area. Facilities are smoke free rooms and laundry.
The only hotels quoted in the list are Holiday Inn Notre Dame and Holiday Inn Saint Germain, but I don't think they are the correct ones.
Could anybody help?
After several attempts with both 4 and 5 stars hotels in different quarters, this is the best I could get.
Probably not too bad, assuming that Amsterdam seems to be very crowded in those days due to the marathon and the techno festival.
I forgot to use betterbidding PRICELINE link, I'm very sorry!!!
Good deal in a good hotel, I think
Started with $ 100,00 slightly increasing at each rebid.
Was $ 117,00 with Priceline Express Deals (I saved $ 3,00 per night... better than nothing!!!)
I apologise for my very late reply.
The hotel was Pullman Paris La Defense.
It's a pretty nice hotel, despite a bit too "anonymous" even for Priceline standards. The bed however was probably the most comfortable I've ever slept in.
La Defense is faraway from Paris centre, but with metro is only 10 minutes, and it's worth visiting sometimes.
It's not a great rate comparing with the position of the hotel, but for the first time it was not so easy to have the offer accepted.
I had to try for several days and this was the best rate I could get (it's the worst one I got in Paris, but good anyway).
According to Priceline, the hotel is a 5 star.
I used the Betterbidding PRICELINE link.
Quite a good deal I think...
Started from the PRICELINE link of Betterbidding offering $ 60 in East.
After being rejected offered $ 65 adding Tiergarten - Kurfuerstendamm and was accepted.
Very happy!!!
My sequence:
- 100$ Le Marais Republique
- 103$ adding Montmartre - Sacre Coeur - Pigalle
- 105$ adding St. Germain - Latin Quarter - Montparnasse and I got it (Booking.com price was 196
My first deal with Priceline, thank you for all tips.
$276 including taxes and fees for two nights (when Paris seems to be very croudy) at Marriott Rive Gauche: very happy about that!!!
