vpath Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Madrid only has 5* hotels in the Old Madrid-Bourbon Madrid and Around La Castellana areas. I first tried to get a hotel in the Old Madrid area and bid upto $146 a night. I then expanded my bid to the Around La Castellana area. Initially got a counter offer at $121 for $151. A few days later I got a counter offer at $116 for $141. I got my hotel for $126, although I paid only $121 per night, using my Bonus Bucks ($5 per night). I used incremental bids for $5 for a few days since I had the luxury of time.I'm happy with the Melia Madrid Princesa and have signed up for MAS rewards, hoping for a discounted upgrade and other amenities at the hotel. Good reviews for the site and not too far from the center. Hotwire also has likely the same hotel at $146 per night. Same amenities. Used the BB PRICELINE link. Love the site. This is my first post.
