Dillon8986 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Posted July 9, 2013 We are heading to London August 6-9 and want to stay near Buckingham Palace (Westminster area I believe) and would like help with recommendation of amounts that will win a 3* booking for the 3 nights. Needs are an ensuite (shower in room) and a double bed at least. Thanks in advance
AaronJB Posted July 9, 2013 Report Posted July 9, 2013 Welcome to Betterbidding.Please provide your desired max budget per night for this stay. A bathroom in-room should be guaranteed, but bed type is not.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Dillon8986 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Posted July 9, 2013 Thank you for your reply. My max budge is 110.00 a day. Thanks!
thereuare Posted July 10, 2013 Report Posted July 10, 2013 There are no re-bid zones available when bidding 3* in London, so there really isn't too much of a strategy that you can use unless there are other zones that you're willing to accept.If this is the only zone you're willing to bid at this time, i would start with a $100 bid, and increase by $5 every 24 hours for the next two days.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Dillon8986 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Posted July 12, 2013 Thank you for all your help!! I did end up going into the soho Mayfair Piccadilly area and bid on HOTWIRE for a 4star and ended up getting the "thistle marble arch" for $69.00 a night!! Thanks again!!!
thereuare Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Congratulations on your success! An excellent deal, which i think may have been a pricing error as you can see rates on a current HOTWIRE search are significantly higher. Thank you for sharing your win with the board. Can you please add a reply to this thread with the amenities shown before your purchase... you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

slayrr Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Hi,I got the thistle marble arch for 70$ a night too. However, I emailed the hotel with the confirmation number hotwire gave me but they do not have any reservation details on their system.I have just emailed hotwire about this, no replies yet.Highly recommend you double check with the hotel in case this really is a pricing mistake by hotwire. Anyway I would expect them to book me into a similar or better 4* hotel in the same area at no extra charge if it were their fault. Reading through the forum, hotwire has made a few pricing mistakes recently too.
AaronJB Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 If you just made the booking it may not be in their systems for a little while. If it isn't in their systems later today or by tomorrow, then call HOTWIRE and see what the situation is.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
