Priceline Hotel: 4* Prague (East) Renaissance

[skybeedoo]

got to US$60 bidding on priceline. No luck

The next day I swapped to priceline UK

bids in pounds

42 5* East

45 5* East reduced stay by one day

47 4* East -> success

FYI rough exchange

47 GBP = 81 US Dollar

Hotels.com $174.35

mariot.com $175 (149.00 EUR) per night

[anyway]

That's a bit confusing...

You said "pounds" in the beginning, so did you actually mean 47 pounds (around $80)?...

Maybe his deal is not as good as advertised, but still cheap for a 4*

Let me know, I am bidding on paris, prague, and budapest for a 2 week holiday in may. Is UK priceline better?

So far I have been denied 4* in paris for $60, 65, and $70 from May 13-15. I am moving on to three stars now.

By the way, priceline keeps giving me an offer with each losing bid.....see below.....how should i approach this to do better.....I'd rather keep costs under $75/night and am willing to do less stars to keep it as cheap as possible as I know my 16 nights in europe (even eastern europe) will be pricey. thanks

Whoops

I confused myself. It was pounds not euros. So not US$56 but US$80 per night. Not such a good deal after all :-(
