Hotwire Hotel: London - Kensington or Westminster

[BuxBex]

I have tried bidding on Priceline for hotels in and around the Westminster, Soho, Kensington, London Bridge, and Chelsea areas without success. My travel dates are July 3 through July 5 of 2013 for a one room hotel (two people). I went up to $100 with Westminster, Soho, Kensington, London Bridge, and Chelsea selected and up to $110 with Westminster, Soho, and London Bridge selected. I noticed that several users posted 4 star hotel wins in June and August -- Kensington, Westminster and Soho.

I also noticed that Hotwire offers a 4 star hotel in Kensington for $100. Do you think the hotel is the Hilton Olympia?

Why do you think my bids are not winners? Is July London's top peak month? Should I wait and bid in April or May? I would prefer a 4 star hotel in Westminster to Kensington, but I am not willing to bid much higher than $110.

Thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated -- thanks.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

It's not necessarily a matter of a peak month or period as much as it may be a busier set of date/s - rates can vary significantly from one day to the next.

If you could like us to try to help ID the listing on HOTWIRE, please provide the full list of amenities, price (in USD$, before taxes/fees), zone/star rating and complete set of amenities associated with the listing.
