thereuare Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Best guess for the 5* would be the Ambasciatori Palace, but i'll add that the price (when searching for 1room/2adults) is now down to $172/nite.Unfortunately i don't have any insight for the 4* property.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

thereuare Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 For the 3.5* Stazione Termini - Opera hotel, if you go back to HOTWIRE and click the SHOW ME button next to this offer (the one with the price in it), then on the ensuing page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, do you see more than what you've posted above?Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

thereuare Posted March 29, 2013 Report Posted March 29, 2013 I'm not currently seeing either of these properties offered when searching HOTWIRE for your dates... are you still seeing both of 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? Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

wk20a Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Posted March 30, 2013 Bidding Rome 5/4-5/8 5* and 4* help Looking to bid in 2 areas, Veneto - Villa Borghese and Coliseum - Termini. Want to see what price point I should start for a 5* hotel and for a 4* hotel in these areas. I'd like to see if I can get a 5* around the $180 mark. Or else a 4* less than that amount (maybe $40-50 less?)
thereuare Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.Since it appear your gameplan is to first try bidding on PRICELINE, let's do that first since if successful it won't be necessary to research the HOTWIRE properties.When bidding 5* in Rome you have EIGHT re-bid zones... at the 4* level you have ONE re-bid zone.Select 5* Veneto - Villa Borghese...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $153, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $158, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* Coliseum - Termini...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $153, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $158, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* Veneto - Villa Borghese and Coliseum - Termini...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $163, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $168, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $173, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $178, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180If the above is rejected and you then want to try for a 4* property, close the browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Veneto - Villa Borghese...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Coliseum - Termini...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Veneto - Villa Borghese and Coliseum - Termini...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135If the above is rejected wait 24 hours from your last bid and re-try (using the links on the board and NOT any links in any emails PRICELINE may send letting you know that you're eligible to bid again):The 5* strategy as posted above if you want to try that again and are not willing to raise your bid further, then if that is rejected:Select 4* Veneto - Villa Borghese...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Coliseum - Termini...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Veneto - Villa Borghese and Coliseum - Termini...Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

wk20a Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Posted March 30, 2013 Thank you for the bidding strategy.As for the HOTWIRE rates, I would still like these 2 ID if possible. If the hotel is comfortable, I would book the Hotwire rate rather than bid.Stazione Termini - Opera area hotel3.5*Amenities:Free Breakfast, Free Internet, Laundry Facilities (self-service), High-Speed Internet Access, Accessible path of travel, in-room accessibility, accessible bathroom, roll-in showerRecommended:In 85% of Hotwire customer reviews.$119Stazione Termini - Opera area hotel4*Recommended in 70% of Hotwire customer reviewsnothing listed for amenities - even when clicked in$154

AaronJB Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 Unfortunately, neither property has been ID'd/reported to the board, and I don't have much insight as to which properties these may be.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
wk20a Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Posted November 8, 2014 Bidding overall in Europe was challenging given the wide range of hotels & quality available - ended up booking direct instead of bidding.
