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

I used the PRICELINE links.

We'll be in London in August for 4 nights, with a group of 6 and I've spent an astounding amount of time looking at apartments, b&b's, vacation rentals, and Priceline and Hotwire. I was almost going to book an apartment, but spent a fair amount of time researching London on this board, and came to the conclusion that something in the mid-80's might get me the Hilton Paddington.

I really wanted to be in the Hilton Paddington as we need ready Heathrow access as we have a guest coming in from Paris via Heathrow, I'm headed to France via Heathrow, and the rest of my family is headed home via Heathrow. With Paddington being a 15 minute train ride from Heathrow, this made the most sense.

So, my strategy going in was going to be:

- $85 with bid in Notting Hill/Bayswater. If rejected, add Westminster, if rejected add Bloomsbury, if rejected add Mayfair, if rejected add Hammersmith (no 4* in Hammersmith), if rejected add Wembley (no 4*)...and going up by $1 increments.

Wouldn't you know it, starting at $85 and I got the Hilton Paddington on the first try. I'm not sure if having 12 room nights helped or not, but I'm not complaining.

Best apartment deal I could find in London in August was in the same area, but $250 for the same stay, and only had 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It would have worked, but this will be better. Best hotel rate on the Hilton Paddington web site that I could find was $234 + tax.

Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $85.00 (USD)

Number of Rooms: 3

Number of Nights: 4

Room Subtotal: $1020.00 (USD)

Taxes and Fees: $222.60 (USD)

Total Room Cost: $1242.60 (USD)
