hi,

I am trying to find out if the following on hotwire is the "melia valencia":

inforamtion from betterbidding helper (hotwire-easy view button):

4* hotel

date: 23-26 sep 2016

1 room, 1 person

49USD per room per night

old town - nightlife area

amenities: free internet business center self-service laudry, internet access

inforamtion from betterbidding helper (hotwire button):

4* hotel

date: 23-26 sep 2016

1 room, 1 person

51€/night (weekend deal)

95% recommendation

tripadvisor: 4.5

could that be the "melia valencia"????

thanks for ID-ing

okay, thanks for helping.

I like to close this threat (without any decision yet) and decide later or after Arrival.

thanks

okay,

thank your for this information.

the jurys inn4* is really an option - depends on the price - as I now found the hilton prague 5* (regular booked) with 35% winter discount for HHonors members at 78euro (about 84$).

if there is some additional fee when booed the jurys at 70$ there will be no big difference in price.

p.s. this time I am only looking for accomodation for 2 adults (no child!).

thanks

yes, you are right. It made no sense to let you search for the hilton if it would be above the limit in case that you could ID it as one of the mentioned...sorry.

and I did not know that I cannot bid specific at NYOP.

4* jurys Inn is maybe an option (if its nearby)...I will have a look on it. 70$/night would be the normal price? or did you ID the jury`s?

thanks

...the point is more where it is located than the hilton itself.

it is very close to the bus station where we have to be next morning at 7.

but I am not willing to pay 90$! ...maximum 75$ for 1 night without breakfast...

but if there is no chance to ID and no possibility to bid specific on it there is no chance to get that price...

okay, done.

thanks for helping now to ID the "hilton prague" or give some assistance for NYOP strategy...

...to finalize this threat:

due to the terror in paris at the Moment it is no Option to go there...

looking for another (more save) city for the trip, maybe prague.

opened another (separate) threat with IDHelp for hilton prague yesterday-

thanks for your help

hi,

I am trying to find the 5* hotel "hilton prague" (NOT "hilton old town prague"! which is higher in price) @hotwire or @priceline for 18-19 june 2016:

Its not sure if it is one of the offered but maybe you can help me to identify if it is one:

@hotwire there are 3 offers for 5*s at the right area (old town square - astronomical clock):

1st:  90$, 60% recommended, free Internet,  

Business center

•   Casino Casino
•   Fitness center Fitness center
•   Golf nearby Golf nearby
•   Restaurant(s) Restaurant(s)
•   Spa services Spa services
•   Tennis nearby Tennis nearby

2nd: 92$, 95% recommended,

      no inforamtion about amenities!!!

3rd: can not be to hilton (to high in Price!)

as the normal price for the "hilton prague" is around 117$ I guess it is no one, as the price difference is only about 22%.

@priceline (open) the "hilton prague" is rated 8.2 of 10 (52 reviews) and a price of 117$.

@ priceline express deals there is no lower priced 5* in the right area, so it is obvisously not offered there at the moment.

I have no experience with "Name your own orice @ priceline" to get a good rate for the "hilton prague", but maybe ist an option...

can you give me some help at which rate I should start bidding @ NYOP? do you think there is a chance to get it with NYOP lower than 70$?

thanks,

ralf from germany

okay, thanks.

I have to think about...

okay,

@hotwire

searching for 2a/1c

there is the same price than when searching 2a

(about 210 euro including taxes)

for the 90%recommended (which you guessed to be the sofitel).

does that mean that there will be a third bed in the room (for the child)

or only that there is no extra charge when a child sleeps in the same room

(means only one double bed or twin beds in the room)?

P.S.

...and since yesterday there is an new situation:

it could be possible that I have to look not only for 2 person,

but for 2 and 1 child (11 years).

and the decision if 2 or 2+ will be done just before the trip (in may).

therefore it might be better to make a reservation (where ever) for 2+,

looking for a good and not to expensive hotel with no or less additional fee

for the child and no matter if its 2 or 2+ in the end.

I found some offers without additional costs for child (<12 years) but I guess

no way to realize with hotwire or priceline deals.

....because due to tax&fee it comes to 210 euro (20-22 may).

think I will wait a while an think about it.

also hoping for a good hotwire-discount code usable.

thanks for your help so far.

P.S:

sorry, I guess I misunderstood NYOP.

I thougt that it would be clear for which hotel the bidding is (i.e. for the sofitel).

now I realized that NYOP is also "blinded"...then it makes no sense what I wrote before.

you can ignore.

thanks

okay, thanks so far.

if I understood right then you can``t say if the...

@priceline

2 nights (20-22 may)

80 euro per night (fri-sun)

double or twin bed (classic room)

plus taxes and fees 27,66 euro

total: 187,66 euro

5* Hotel la defense

...is the sofitel or the pullman.

but can you say that it must be one of the two?

(as when looking @priceline "unblinded", there are only these two 5*hotels in "la defense"offered (both at 144 euro per night that dates)).

or can there be any "surprise" (like "frazer suites")?

anyway, I have to think about it.

I would prefer the sofitel but if its not "clear" at priceline express deals to get there I think I will not risk.

would you say it is a good idea to try it with NYOP?

I have never did that before (and in case would need some basics about it).

what I am thinking is...IF the above offered @priceline express deals WOULD be the sofitel, then

maybe they would give same price via NYOP!? means...

I could start biding i.e. at 75 euro/night (or 150 for the 2 night) up to 80 euro (160 euro). IF it would be the

sofitel they probably give it at 80 (160) euro as its the same price then above with "express deal".

..and if they dont give it at 80 (160) euro...it might be higher in price....means the above offered @express deal

IS NOT THE SOFITEL.

am I thinking right or is it more tricky?

thanks

okay,

@priceline

2 nights (20-22 may)

80 euro per night (fri-sun)

double or twin bed (classic room)

plus taxes and fees 27,66 euro

total: 187,66 euro

5* Hotel la defense

guest score 8.0

amenities:

pets allowed

free internet

Business Center

Fitness center

restaurant

that would be great (if ist the sofitel)!?

yes, probably I would book the above 2 nights and, separately (maybe by NYOP)

the 2 nights before (18-20) or after (22-24) to get 4 days in a row at the sofitel (or pullman).

I know that the other 2 nights will be more expensive than 187,66 euro but it should be not

more than 260 euro in total - otherwire it will be no Option to do it like this.

thanks for helping

okay, thanks again for your advice.

I think about it (and a quick decision).

I just realised that HOTWIRE there is additional tax&fee to pay compared to PRICELINE EXPRESS deal where the price shown is included tax&fee.

so it probably would be cheaper @priceline "express deal".

but there is only one 5* at la defense offered at priceline "express deal".

price shown is 94 euro (101$) per night 20-22 may.

would you identify it also as the "sofitel"?

anyway, in total I need 4 nights (and the 2 days bevor or after 20-22 may) are much more expensive (too much for me).

do you think there is a chance to get 18-20 or 22-24 may below 130euro/night with NYOP?

thanks.

p.s. if its not the sofitel but the pullman it would be also okay.

okay, understood.

thanks a lot for your help.

I have to think about it and let you know if i will book via HOTWIRE.

p.s.

one last question:

I remember that tere was a hotwire 30$ discount for 4* and 5* this february.

do you think that was something "unique" or is there a good chance for something

like that (as there is time enough to wait a little until reservation).

okay, thanks for your guess,

can you explain why you are "fairly confident" the the one at 114 USD is the sofitel?

if I am not wrong informed, there are only 2 (or 3) options for 5* in "la defense"

sofitel

pullman

and maybe

frazer suites harmony (but maybe it is only 4* and can be excluded) - I definetely must be safe not to get there!

so if it would be "relatively sure" that the 114 USD is the sofitel (means that the 126 USD must be the pullman)

it would also mean that (at hotwire) the "90% recommended" must be the sofitel (and the 95% the pullman).

then it would be clear and I could risk to book the "90% recommended" on hotwire deal to come to the sofitel.

thanks for your help and sorry for my english.

okay, at BiddingHelper.com shown:

@hotwire easy view button only this one:

la defense - neuilly

20 to 21 may 2016

114 USD per night per room

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking

@hotwire button there are two hotels shown:

the one above at 114$ (90% recommended)

and

another at 126$ per night per room (95% recommended)

what I am interested in is: which one is (for sure) the sofitel???

thanks for helping

hi,

usually there are two 5* in la defense offerd on HOTWIRE.

one is 95% recommended and the other 90%.

any idea?

95%=sofitel?

90%=pullman?

sure?

thanks
