Priceline Hotel: London

[Shorny]

I am planning to go to London around similar dates as this priceline hotel thread. (Mine is on 15th to 18th of May)

I have tried yesterday from this website link to bid. But no luck;

1. $165 on 5 Star - Hammersmith, Bloomsbury - Marble Arch, Notting Hill - Bayswater, Mayfair - Soho, The City and London Bridge, Westminster, Chelsea - Knightsbridge

2. $170 on 5 Star - Westminster, Hammersmith, The City and London Bridge, Kensington - Earl's Court, Chelsea - Knightsbridge, Bloomsbury - Marble Arch, Notting Hill - Bayswater, Mayfair - Soho

3. $175 on Westminster, Hammersmith, The City and London Bridge, Mayfair - Soho, Kensington - Earl's Court, Bloomsbury - Marble Arch, Regents Park - North London, Chelsea - Knightsbridge, Notting Hill - Bayswater

Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

If you would like to get help with a bidding strategy so please post your maximum budget per night, zone(s) you're willing to stay in and desired rating for the hotel.

I assume you're trying to beat the HOTWIRE prices. How high did you bid yesterday, did you stop at $175?

Thanx for using boards PRICELINE link :)

Thanks for your reply.

My stopped at $175 becasue I thought I would need to do more research given that someone has won 5* in Soho for $155 near around dates.

My target area is;

1. Mayfair - Soho,

2. Westminster

3. Chelsea - Knightsbridge

4. The City and London Bridge

My current target is 5* with maximum price of $175 per night. Although if this doesn't work, I would go down like to 4* with max of $110 per night.

I want to hear if I am being just unrealistic or if I am just not doing it right...

Thanks,

If you already bid up to your limit there is not much more than you can do other than:

1) wait it out and try again

2) lower your star rating

3) increase your budget

4) SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID (not a great option for a 3 nite stay)

How long do you want to continue to try for a 5* up to $175 before lowering your star rating and trying for a 4*?
