Priceline Hotel: 4* Amsterdam (City Center-Museum Quarter) Moevenpick

[Matt2mc]

Hello All!

I am looking for some bidding advice as this will be my first time using Priceline

I have been reading the forum and the guides but thought asking the people would be the best idea to get me started

I am looking for Amsterdam City Centre 23rd September to 27th September 2010, and I am hoping to pay up to around $100 - $110 a night. 5 Star would be brilliant but if this is not achievable then I would still be happy with a 4 star

Any comments on strategies would be appreciated

Matt

I have tried for a 5 star at $120 and it was declined

Can't help you with any good 5 star insight. But someone I know just got a four star for 3 nights (Sept 24, 25, 26) for $74 for one night and $76 for the other two. They wanted to hotel hop. So they broke their bid up.

they have the NH Amsterdam Centre ($74) and the Movenpick ($76) . The other 4* in play at this time is the NH Carlton.

Four star is the way I would go

Just to update what happened with this hotel booking

I was rather niave and impatient and didnt read how to book european hotels section so paid over the odds. Got 4* Moevenpick for 23/09 - 27/09 @ $105 a night including tax

The hotel is lovely and the tram to get into town is cheap and every 15 minutes - highly recommended hotel although non smoking
