swift0114 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 So my girlfriend and I will be in Barcelona, Spain on Oct 5th to the 7th then heading on a cruise on the NCL Epic on the 7th. I've been looking at hotels but it's been difficult to find a deal. Originally was looking to find a place North Las Ramblas 4* and up but the prices seem to be $150+. Was looking at $120 total or less, can anyone help?If it wasn't possible, I am willing to go out a little further. Saw 5* Les Corts - Sants area hotel on Hotwire for $104.54 (total $244 for two nights), was wondering if this might be Hilton Barcelona?Thanks in advance.
thereuare Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!Originally was looking to find a place North Las Ramblas 4* and up but the prices seem to be $150+. Was looking at $120 total or less, can anyone help?It's not clear from your post, have you mad any bids already? What is your maximum bid price (before taxes and fees)?If it wasn't possible, I am willing to go out a little further. Saw 5* Les Corts - Sants area hotel on Hotwire for $104.54 (total $244 for two nights)...Please change the currency drop down menu on the top right of HOTWIRE's page to US Dollars (and if applicable the country to United States). Then continue to search HOTWIRE and post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to interpretation due to future currency fluctuation. Once you're ready to purchase simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

swift0114 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Posted September 24, 2012 It's not clear from your post, have you mad any bids already? What is your maximum bid price (before taxes and fees)?I made a few actually. The most recent being $100 USD in both the North and South part of Las Ramblas. I tried $95 USD in Les Corts - Sants last week and got nothing. Both bids were for Oct 5th to Oct 6th 2012. Was hoping to get something then add another night if we like it.

Once you're ready to purchase simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Changed the currency and the Hotwire USD price is $107 and $109 in Barcelona, Spain for Oct 5 to Oct 7th 2012. I think they are both the same? Both 5* in the Les Corts - Sants area hotel. Probably Hilton Barcelona. I am ok with 4* actually if I can get closer to the core of Barcelona.$107 amenities:5-star Hotel in Les Corts - SantsThis Hotel features the following amenities:Fitness CenterGuests have access to exercise equipment; an additional charge may apply.Restaurant(s)Property offers at least one restaurant on the premises; hours and days of operation may vary.Business CenterGuests have access to business equipment and services; an additional charge may apply.Laundry Facilities (self-service)<amenity names only please... not descriptions>High-Speed Internet AccessGuestrooms are equipped with high-speed Internet access; an extra charge may apply.Golf NearbyProperty is located within walking distance or a short drive of at least one golf course; an extra charge typically applies.Tennis NearbyProperty is located within walking distance or a short drive of at least one tennis court; an extra charge typically applies.Accessible path of travel<amenity names only please... not descriptions>In-room accessibilityAccessible path from the room entrance to the window, the bed and the bathroom; accessible hardware and minimal resistance to open the door; accessible temperature controls and window coveringsWheelchair accessibleWheelchair accessible common areasAccessible bathroomRaised toilet, hand-held shower and grab bars at the tub and toiletRoll-in showerBathroom has a roll-in shower $109 amenities:5-star Hotel in Les Corts - SantsThis Hotel features the following amenities:Fitness CenterGuests have access to exercise equipment; an additional charge may apply.Restaurant(s)Property offers at least one restaurant on the premises; hours and days of operation may vary.Business CenterGuests have access to business equipment and services; an additional charge may apply.Laundry Facilities (self-service)<amenity names only please... not descriptions>High-Speed Internet AccessGuestrooms are equipped with high-speed Internet access; an extra charge may apply.Golf NearbyProperty is located within walking distance or a short drive of at least one golf course; an extra charge typically applies.Tennis NearbyProperty is located within walking distance or a short drive of at least one tennis court; an extra charge typically applies.Accessible path of travel<amenity names only please... not descriptions>In-room accessibilityAccessible path from the room entrance to the window, the bed and the bathroom; accessible hardware and minimal resistance to open the door; accessible temperature controls and window coveringsWheelchair accessibleWheelchair accessible common areasAccessible bathroomRaised toilet, hand-held shower and grab bars at the tub and toiletRoll-in showerBathroom has a roll-in shower
