Priceline Hotel: London Mayfair-Soho Area (May 31-June 6)

[Alana86]

I am looking to bid on a hotel in the London Mayfair-Soho area for May 31 to June 6. Ideally I am looking for a 5* hotel, but could be convinced to try a 4* as well. I have never used Priceline before and was hoping for some tips and starting bid suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to BetterBidding :)

The rates are on the "higher" side but not that bad for your dates. What would your budget/night be before tax/fee's 5* vs 4* hotel?

Is the Mayfair-Soho zone the only zone you're willing to stay in?

Let us know and we'll go from there.

That is the only area that we are interested in. Hotwire has a 4* for $180/night so if we could get a 5* for around that is would be great.

I might be wrong but my guess would be that you're looking at $200+ for a 5*

You have 4 free zones to use when bidding 5*. Please start with reading this link: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained

Let us know if you have any further question before you start bidding.

I agree that it will likely take $200+ to be successful for a 5* hotel in the Mayfair-Soho zone (and perhaps substantially more), but if you want to give it a try using your FOUR re-bid zones, you could bid as follows:

Select 5* Mayfair Soho...

Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $180

Feel free to ask any questions (especially confirming your re-bid zones if you're new to the concept).
