thereuare Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hmmm. Any other info I should add? I think you covered it all.Thanks for posting and welcome to BetterBidding!One thing you might want to include in future posts is the approximate conversion rate for euros to dollars so we can compare the euro rates you mentioned. I know there are sites that list the conversion ratios for all currencies, but most people scanning posts here won't bother (also verifies the conversion at the time of your bid, as it may differ substantially 6 months from now when somebody reads your post and tries to compare prices).THANKS again for sharing your results with us, have a great trip!

All the time I was composing the report and searching for the alternative prices I had it in mind and then forgot to include it. :-)As of today, my bank has conversion rate USD 1 = .88 EUR, or EUR 1 = USD 1.13. That means that my total price is EUR 409. Link to comment

rnh222 Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I just joined here and really have no idea how to respond to the listing. I have seen this hotel listed a number of times and it is in my price range. However, has anyone ever stayed there? With what result? If this is placed in an incorrect place, please net me know. Thanks Link to comment
WillTravel Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 RNH, there are good reviews on TripAdvisor:http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g1..._de_France.htmlThe thing is when you bid on Priceline, especially in a large city like Paris, you can't be sure what hotel you will get, although you can specify the star level and zone. If you want to bid for a stay in Paris, you could post some details about your planned stay on another thread, and anyone who can will do their best to help! Link to comment
