Priceline Hotel: 4* Prague (West) Moevenpick Hotel Prague

[OCCHI21]

Hello,

My husband and I plan on going to Prague during Easter break it would be from Friday (Good Friday) April 6, 2012- Wednesday April 11,2012. We def want to stay in East Prague and we would like a 3* hotel at around $30-$55, 4* hotel at around $60-$65, and or a 5* $70-$75, we care more about the savings than the stars so the better deal for us would prob be a 3*. I tried today many unsucessful bids only in East Prague using your link =0) started at 5* at $55,and then selected 4* & 3* at $45 but nothing worked!

Any tips??

also what is this priceline bonus money, I am an avid priceline booker and I never got one!!

I bid $62 for 5*, then I bid $40 for 3*, and then the last bid was 2* for $40

Bonus money is usually sent out randomly OR you can check for bonus money by going to PRICELINE and clicking the MY PROFILE >> MY REWARDS link at the top right of their home page.

If you prefer the lower rated hotel for less money, why are you starting your bids at the higher rated hotels and higher priced bids?

What is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel in this area?

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Never thought to look at other hotel options, so I just did and Anna Hotel would be the best option if the hotel bids are unsucessful. It would be $94.91 per night but they do offer free internet and breakfast, but for that price being a 3* I would rather a priceline hotel. Then I noted that my prices are $40 higher per night Friday-Sunday.

Friday, April 6, 2012- Sunday 8, 2012 $97.58 and Then Monday April 9-April 11 $61.78.

The priceline hotels listed on this site are priced as follows per night:

5*Hilton $211.94

5*Marriott $202.40

4*Hotel Ametyst $125.40

4*Clarion Congress $106.74

3*Courtyard Flora $100.62

Any tips on how I can win any of these hotels?

Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

Yes we wouldnt mind it. How should I go about the bidding? Also what do you think would be a accepted bid if I bid all five nights for a 3* hoteL?

THANKS

Hard to say what it would take for the complete stay at a 3* since we don't see too much bidding in this zone and even less bidding at the 3* level.

Do you want to try for first:

3* (or some other rating) for the complete stay?

OR

what star rating and maximum bid for a sub-set of the stay?

Since it seems the wins have mainly been for 5* and 4*, what do you think would be a successful bidding strategy for 4* for the entire stay?

Thank you

A guess would be somewhere between $60-$80... did you see that HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel in Central Prague for $78/nite? (this property has not yet been identified, and keep in mind that each service rates properties based upon their own criteria, so this may not be a 4* rated hotel on PRICELINE, or PRICELINE may not even use this property in their inventory)

I have never used hotwire, does it work the same way as priceline? Does that mean I put in $78 on hotwire and I won a hotel?

Ok we ended up adding in the zone of West Prague, started 1st bid at $50, rejected, then we added 2* and up it to $55 and we won the Moevenpick Hotel Prague. We are happy bc we rather spend the less $ on a hotel room and use the trains. Thanks for all your help!!! Love this site and I always use the links!
