Priceline Hotel: 5* Budapest (Pest) Hilton Budapest Westend

[PriceLuck]

I was just successful for Budapest, Hungary for September 7-12, 2012 at $63 per night at the Hilton Budapest Westend. Over the past few days I limited myself in Budapeast to 5* only and increased from $53, $55 to $57, $59 by using 5* Pest and free re-bid with 5* Buda since no 5* was listed there, and then to $63 today in Pest, and it was directly accepted. The cheapest direct price listed on Priceline for booking the named hotel was $116.00, and on their direct Hilton booking site for the Hilton Budapest Westend they had a set advance purchase price at $104.00. Based on those prices, the $63.00 Priceline acceptance for this time of year when the Septemberfest and other food and wine festivals are going on in Budapest was a happy win for us. Some of our Budapest friends have told us we will really enjoy the direct train from the airport to the hotel, the nice shopping in the area of the Hilton, and the easy access to the old town, wine tastings, and tourist things to do for our first trip to Budapest. They did not believe we could get a 5* Hilton for $63 per night, especially at this time of year that they consider the best time to visit with the harvest festivals and wine festival season. Having seen that others have gotten this Hilton in the $60 range kept me bidding in those amounts even though the Priceline site popped up its notorious note in red to increase the bid because "...you have little chance of winning with the low bid." That "little chance" worked for us.
