Priceline Hotel: 4* London (Kensington - Earls Court - Knightsbridge) Hilton London Olympia

[hootio]

Using the information from other bidders, I managed to get the Hilton London Olympia in Kensington. My first preference was actually in the Finsbury and Islington area with a starting bid at $92. With each re-bid zone, I increased my bidding at increments of $2 and the results are as such:

$92 - Finsbury and Islington

$94 - Mayfair - Soho

$96 - Bloomsbury - Marble Arch

$98 - Notting Hill - Bayswater

$100 - The City and London Bridge

$102 - Kensington - Earl's Court

Surprised with the result in the Kensington area, it is a Hilton with okay reviews and a 2012 Olympic makeover. Either way, managed to get the hotel for the weekend nights at a decent price so I am pleased about that.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you're pleased with the results and this property will work well for your needs.

Note that although more time consuming, you could improve upon your bidding by 'closing the browser' and bidding your zones in different combinations, since as per your sequence above, if this hotel was available for less you didn't have a chance to win it the lower price. Feel free to ask for help and/or a bidding strategy before your next opaque purchase.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
