Hi There

here is another listing I need to figure out :

3.5-star Hotel in Mayfair - Soho $277 per night , 6/26 thru 6/30 :

This Hotel features the following amenities:

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

CAn anyone help me identifying this hotel ? Thank you!

[thereuare]

Neither of the above have been reported to the board as-is.

My guess is that the 5* is the Hilton London on Park Lane and for the 3.5* i think either a new amenity set for the Holiday Inn Mayfair or a downgrade of the Millenium Mayfair since last reported to the board.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

[Vanity99]

Hi thereuare,

Thank you for your reply.

Do you think this is a new hotel joining Hotwire for this area?. I thought this would be Intercontinental Park Lane but the description has Laundry which is not specified in the Hotwire Hotel list.

Are you saying that Millennium Mayfair is currently being downgraded to 3.5* by hotwire ?.

Thank you again.

[thereuare]

Are you saying that Millennium Mayfair is currently being downgraded to 3.5* by hotwire ?

No, i'm saying if the Millennium Mayfair was downgraded it could be the property offered above (the Holiday Inn Mayfair would be another possibility for the 3.5* property)... we have no way of knowing if this property has been downgraded or not until it's reported to the board.

Hi there,

Trying to score a deal in Mayfair but looks like only 5* is available through Hotwire. Priceline did not have many winnings for London either. :(( and the dates are getting closer.... and supply is depleting...

So I am still hunting and need help to figure those hotels :

3.5* Westminster are, $220, amenities : Restaurant

3.5* Knightsbridge, $265, Amenities: Smoke Free and High Speed Internet

Will anyone help me ID these hotels please? Any other advice would be appreciated....Thank you so much!

[thereuare]

With just a solo Restaurant amenity listed we won't be able to add much insight into the Westminster property.

The Knightsbridge property shows a 2.0/5.0 Tripadvisor rating, which is pretty bad... is this really something that you'd be interested in?

Since you're now expanding beyond only the Mayfair zone, why not try for a 4* hotel on PRICELINE using all zones which you find acceptable? Is there something specific you're looking for from this stay?

Hi thereuare,

Thanks for the reply.

I was exploring out Mayfair because there is nothing else in Mayfair but the 5* with $413 option.

Tried to bid in priceline on 5* Mayfair with 4 free bid zones too, up to $320 but to no avail. I am very much keen on Mayfair 5* since some of 4*on price line are really old and the safer option would be on 5* Mayfair.

I am very much keen on Mayfair 5* since some of 4*on price line are really old and the safer option would be on 5* Mayfair.

... then certainly a 3.5* property with a 2.0 Tripadvisor rating wouldn't be a better option ;)

What is your game plan moving forward?

[Vanity99]

Hi thereuare,

tried price line again until $365 and still not getting it.

revisited hotwire and got a 5* with different specs :

$410 /night, 5* Mayfair Soho with the following amenities :

Fitness Center

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

Spa Services

Accessible path of travel

Wheelchair accessible

Can you help me ID this hotel please? Thank you.

Back up plan is still price line. If I let say would like to get 4* on Mayfair, how do I get it knowing that the other zones have 4 *. What are the free bid zone for 4* Mayfair then ? Any advice on the game plan though ?

Thank you very much!

[thereuare]

This 5* HOTWIRE property has not yet been reported to the board, but the Hilton on Park Lane, Radisson Edwardian Mayfair, and W Leicester Square would all be among the possibilities.

In terms of PRICELINE bidding, you have TWO re-bid zones when bidding 4* in London. See this thread for details on how to determine your re-bid zones: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained. Fee free (highly recommended) to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board.

If you read the thread above and are confused just post back and we'll break it down further for you.

Thanks again for your help.

There has been bookings made but apparently people don't post their winnings. :(

Hi thereuare,

can i ask your help to identify this 4.5* Hotel in London, Mayfair-Soho, 06/27 thru 06/30$411/night, 65% recommended by Hotwire customers.

Thank you

[thereuare]

What would you be looking for from this 4.5* property? With a 65% recommendation from previous HOTWIRE guests and a 3.0/5.0 TA rating (neither of these are very good) in what way would this be better than the current 5* offer which is not only better rated (4.0/5.0 TA rating) but is also priced less??

For London, beyond Mayfair there have been the following Priceline zones reported here with 5* hotels:

Bloomsbury - Marble Arch

Docklands

Nottinghill - Bayswater

Westminster

Maybe one of the above zones could work for you?

There are also quite a few of the zones with 4.5*s .....

Hotwire hasn't had any area other than Mayfair reported with a 5*.

Romelle

[Vanity99]

Thanks for the reply guys....

I am quite certain that the 5* quoted in hot-wire is not Hilton on Park Lane or Intercontinental which I was hoping to get. I kinda suspect it is going to be W at Leceister. So I am sitting on the fence.

However, just re-check with Hotwire and found nothing. Only 2 star hotel in Westminster and Nottinghill. :((

Bid at price line up to $360 on Mayfair with 4 rebid zones and still did not get through. Tried 4* at Mayfair so far at $175 and has not gotten anything yet.

[thereuare]

However, just re-check with Hotwire and found nothing.

I think HOTWIRE is having a communication issue at the moment as i'm seeing little/no inventory for most of searches i've done in the last few hours.

I'm not currently seeing this property offered when searching HOTWIRE for your dates... are you still seeing the above on your own search? If so, are you searching HOTWIRE for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?

[Vanity99]

Thanks for the reply thereuare. my apology the dates are actually changing to 27 june through 30 June. Still looking for 1 room for 2 adults only.

[Romelle]

It is showing now.

The only Hotwire 4.5* Mayfair-Soho reported thus far is the Le Meridien Piccadilly. That reported list of amenities is much shorter, but does include all your listed ones.

It could also be a regrade from either the 4*s or the 5*s ??

As you can see, things pop off and on the Hotwire offerings rather quickly. If you see something you like, best to not hesitate too long. However, if something you liked goes away, it may come back again.

Romelle

[Romelle]

Forgot to mention a couple things. The Hotwire offering I saw was $333. That might be just a result of currency fluctuation. The Recommendation number was 90% rather than the 95% you saw.

[Vanity99]

Hi Romelie,

Thanks for your reply. Hotwire is having one day sale so I finally booked this hotel for $333/night/excluding tax , grand total cost for 3 nights is $1,211.63. Now I am good for my european summer trip! Thanks again !

[Romelle]

I'm glad you are set.

Was it in fact the Le Meridien Piccadilly?

Romelle

[thereuare]

Can you please add the full details of what you ultimately purchased:

Star rating, city, zone, hotel name, room rate per nite, dates and amenities shown before your purchase... you can still view all of this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.
