Priceline Hotel: Paris April 1-7, 2011, $200/night max.

[flospy]

Hi,

Interested in any input on bidding strategy for hotels:

• Paris
  
• April 1-7, 2011.
  
• Max of about $200/night (roughly 145Euro),
  
• As centrally located as possible. In terms of Priceline zones, I believe this would be zones 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7.
  

I always seem to love places highly rated by tripadvisor, but I don't think it's possible to aim for a group of hotels in that fashion.

(Not sure if I should repost this on hotwire forum or not?)

Thanks!

The prices I was seeing on PRICELINE weren't much different from rack racks & non-bidding travel sites, so I went ahead and booked direct for a little place in what I believe would be considered "Opera Quarter East - Les Halles." I was able to stay in budget & I am very pleased with my choice.

That's because you were probably looking at the 'retail' side of PRICELINE, which is basically the same as rack rates and non-bidding sites. The bidding side of PRICELINE doesn't show prices, so i don't think you were likely looking in the right place.

Glad to see you found something which works for your needs. Feel free to ask for help with your future travel plans, and if you reply to the questions asked, i'm confident we can help you save money vs. what you're able to book elsewhere.
