Priceline Hotel: Rome Coliseum - Termini Station 5* Bidding Help.

[James9394]

Hi, we are looking at going to Rome at the end of September (roughly Sept 27 - Oct4) and will likely want to stay in the "Coliseum - Termini Station" area. I cannot find any previous winning bids and wondering what we should expect to pay at that time of year. If pricing between 5* and 4* are are similar, we would like 5*. Thanks!

To find your older topics and posts made. Click on your username, and under the box for your (optional)picture is there a link called "find my content". There can you find your activity for the last 2 years.

The board need to know your firm dates for Rome in order to help you. Rates for hotels are date sensitive and could varies greatly if you change a day or two in your search. And hotels/prices offered now may not be the ones available once you're ready to commit.

You can allways look at HOTWIRE to get a "feeling" for the price when using diffrent set of dates. If your dates are flexible is there a chance that you can find a set of dates that are cheaper if you move arround arrival/departure.

Let us know how we can help you further.

PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 4* hotel in this zone for $132 but is showing no 5* hotels.

My guess from other research is that currently a 5* hotel will cost you quite a bit more in this same zone.

It's not clear if your dates are firm and you're looking to start now, but if so, i would consider how much more you're willing to pay for a 5* vs. a 4*, add that amount to the $132 PRICELINE EXPRESS rate, and use that as your upper limit for a 5* hotel (ie- if a 5* is worth $40 more per nite to you then your upper limit for a 5* hotel would be $172/nite)

Let us know if/when you're ready to begin bidding and we'll take it from there.

Hi, so I spoke to the boss and Sept 27 - Oct 4 are the dates we wish to use and a 4* hotel is fine.

We would like to find a hotel in the "Spanish Steps - Trevi Fountain" area instead.

Thanks again!
