Priceline Hotel: 4* London (Notting Hill-Bayswater) Hilton Kensington

[bob666]

4* London Hilton Metropole

I was successful in booking the above hotel through priceline for GBP38 ($68).

Bidding:

Bid GBP30 Mayfair/Soho rejected offered hotel for GBP51

Bid GBP35 Added London Bridge

Bid GBP38 Added Notting Hill - won Hilton

I was surprised as I thought there were no 4* hotels in Notting Hill area & previously the Hilton Kennington has fallen with Kensington area. However, I'm happy with the price.

Notting Hill not only has 4* properties, but 5* as well.

Enjoy your stay.

Thanks - I'll know better now when bidding for hotels in London.

I wouldn't recommend the Hilton Kennington as a central London location (its nearer Shepherd's Bush than Notting Hill) but I suppose that's why I got a good rate!

I'm confused. Did you get the Hilton Metropole or the Hilton Kensington on this bid?

Notting Hill not only has 4* properties, but 5* as well.

I don't think so :)

Only has 4*

I stand corrected... must have had another zone marked when i checked the other day.

Thanks for the correction. :)

to Willtravel,

It was the Hilton Kensington. The hotel was great as I was upgraded due to being a gold member of Hilton honours.

The location was no issue to us as we had a car. However, if you're expecting a central london location - this is not the hotel for you. But if you're Ok with using the tube (Holland Park on the Central line), this might be a good low budget choice.

This property does appear to be just inside the western edge of the Notting Hill-Bayswater zone, but can somebody who knows the area better confirm, as this hotel was previous reported in the Kensington zone.

Thanks!

Its definately in Notting Hill - Bayswater area (its nearer to Shepherds Bush than Notting Hill) as I won the hotel when adding the above area thinking that there were only 3* hotels in that area as per pinned hotel list!

[thereuare]

...as per pinned hotel list!

So i assume that you have since read the comments at the top of the hotel lists which advise not using the hotel lists to determine re-bid zones and provides a link for the proper way to check?
