I pieced together a good strategy from some of the other replies.
Managed to get the Maida Vale at $115. I avoided Kensington-Earl Court (at this price) because of the Copthorne Tara.
Tried bidding all the way up from $85.

I've posted a few thoughts on this recently, you can do a search in the forum just on London -- there's been a lot of recent posts.
Thanks. I'm taking a look at your recent postings to get an idea of the zones. I'm not even sure what zones I should be looking at but I think they want to be somewhat closer to the centre of things (i.e. within a 20 minute tube ride or so).
Hi there,
If anyone has any bidding strategy for a London 4* hotel I would be very appreciative. I am looking for 8 nights (Oct 22nd to Oct 30th). I am looking for the cheapest 4 star ... ideally close to the center.
I've noticed that the express has a hotel in Earl's court for $149. I'm hoping to go lower ($100 if possible).
Thanks in Advance!
Three nights after I return from a cruise :)
