  1. 4* HOTWIRE Museum Quarter - Vondelpark for $80.00 Free Internet Smoke Free Fitness Hi-Speed Internet Park Plaza Vondelpark This was indeed the Park Plaza Vondelpark. When I first looked at booking this only twin bedded rooms were showing, so I continued bidding on Priceline up to $90 pn. As I was having no joy with PRICELINE I returned to HOTWIRE and found there was now a Queen bedded room available and booked it immediately. In my haste I forgot to use the discount code but this is still a very good deal IMHO. So new Hotel for us and first time using HOTWIRE. I will post my comments on the hotel following my stay.
  2. Would the hotwire code work with that deal? If so then subject to checking some reviews it looks a winner.
  3. Can you identify this hotwire easyview hotel? 4* Museum Quarter - Vondelpark $80 Full Amenities: Free Internet, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Internet access Park Plaza Vondelpark?
  4. I’m going 4*+ and the rebid zones are Haarlem and Hilversum. I will try to get the prices again when home tonight as only have my cell phone now.
  5. So I have done my research using the links and BiddingHelper.com. I can see NH Museum Quarter as a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for $99 and $110 as a members deal. I have stayed here before and am happy to do so again. I plan on starting at $50 and using my free rebid zones working in $5 increments. Any my comments on my strategy? I will of course report the outcome. Wish me luck.
  6. Any ideas what hotel this is? Express Deals® - Big Savings on Top Hotels 4 Star Hotel Museum Quarter - Vondelpark Area Amsterdam, Netherlands £148 What You'll Love Free Internet Fitness Center Restaurant Business Center Guest Ratings: 8+ Very Good
  7. Thanks Thereuare Those sister sites are amazing, the resources available continue to get better and better which is why I'm always happy to use the forum links for my booking. I know there is no definitive answer but given the circumstances do you think chances will improve nearer the date?
  8. Hi all, I am used to bidding on the NYOP in Amsterdam but never normally this time of year. I have to be in Sweden at the start of the week so thought I would tag a few days on in Amsterdam. My research showed vastly higher prices than I would expect and a bit of searching has revealed that there is a large music festival in town. What are people's experience in these cases? Is inventory likely to be released to NYOP or will it all be retail?
  9. I booked through the retail side as location was important as I'm meeting up with a group of people
  10. That is a bit further out than I wanted. I have booked using the Priceline link the Grand Hotel Opera.
  11. I will be there in October 12-14 maybe 15th. I prefer 4-5* and if I can get a room for around £50 per night I would be happy. Rack rate seems to be around $160 a night which is £101 or thereabouts. I am happy to pay in Dollars Pounds Euros or Krona so not an issue which sites I use for booking. Priceline appear to have one big zone for all of Gothenburg.
  12. I want to book for Gothenburg Sweden in October but there is nothing in the hotels list. Has anyone had any experience bidding for Sweden?
  13. I have been bidding for several days thinking I would get NH Amsterdam Centre which I have stayed at many times. From what I can see this is a new hotel for name your own price. Reviews on Priceline look ok and I will be sure to report back. Just need to add a night now.
  14. I was fairly sure I would get a deal here because it was apparent that this was on offer under express deals at $64/night. It took a couple nights bidding up in increments from $50 until tonight when I hit at $58. This is the cheapest i have seen Amsterdam for about 4-5 years. Looks a good time to grab a bargain. I of course used the PRICELINE link, and have stayed here a number of times over recent years and not had a bad stay.
  15. I started bidding for 5* rooms on NYE from $70-78 and 4* from $64-70 For the first few days I had nothing but yesterday, 01/02/12, when I bid $70 on 4* I had a counter offer of $84 I rebid $72 using my free rebid zone and got the same $84 counter offer Tonight I bid $72 without sucess but got it for $73 I won this property last year and I'm more than happy with my booking at 36% of rack rate. I used the PRICELINE link at the top right to start my research and bids each night.
  16. I had a few bids, using free rebid zones, at 5* properties in Amsterdam but nothing coming up not even a counter offer so I lowered my bid and went 4* and got this one on the first bid. This is 47.7% of rack rate on NH hotels site, €113.10 pn for these dates. I suggest anyone bidding for 4* in AMS for late Feb 2011 start at $55-$60 mark as this is 2 bids accepted at $75 and $72 within a few days of each other.
  17. I had emailed the hotel to ask for a double/king not twin bedded room as we were a couple and celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. On arrival they had put us in the royal wing on the 6th floor, so we had a large room with a balcony. Very nice indeed. Never ate at the hotel so can't comment on the restaurant or food. I would suggest using your do not disturb sign though, as housekeeping were a little over enthusiastic wanting to service the room. She was ringing our bell at 8:45, when she enquired if we were checking out today I told her "yes, but later."
