Priceline Hotel: 4* Rome (Vatican City) Quality Hotel Nova Domus

[qasr]

Well, I am a bit annoyed about this one. I started at $90 for 5* for Central, then 4* for $102.

I added Vatican and raised to $112, and priceline said that it was unlikely to accept that bid. I stupidly raised to $128, and chose 4* as well. I got this hotel, which seems like it is outside the Vatican Area. Worse than that, I checked on the hotel's website and found that it would sell me the room for 110 EUR!, this is $132 and only $4 more than waht I got on priceline.

Any ideas on how I can cancel this, if at all? I was thinking of disputing the credit card charge, but am not sure where I stand. Should I just keep it? It doesn't seem like a good deal at all if I only saved $4...

Looks like it has decent reviews on venere.com.

On what grounds do you want to dispute your credit charge? It's not a great deal, but it's a risk you take with Priceline. You still saved money over booking conventionally.

Am i correct that this is in Priceilne's Vatican zone? (and not the Central zone?)

Did you feel desperate to get 'something' that you added a live zone (that you apparently didn't want) with over a month before your stay?

Also, it's usually recommened to LOWER YOUR BID IF YOU LOWER YOUR STAR QUALITY... feel free to ask for help before bidding for your next hotel stay.

Please do clarify the zone for us.

Thanks!

Yes, this is in the Vatican City Area.

I should have lowered my bid. I just wanted to get the hotel there and then--that being my downfall. I'll take it on the chin, it seems like a nice place, and I'm sure I'll enjoy my holiday regardless. :)
