Welcome to BetterBidding!

The amenities shown on the bidding side of PRICELINE are amenities that are offered at every hotel of that star rating in the zone... NOT a specific hotel that you would be bidding on. As these amenities are offered at all hotels of this star rating it is not possible to use this information to try to determine what hotel you may receive when bidding.

So we don't suggest a bidding strategy that goes higher than you're willing to pay, what is your maximum bid for a 5* hotel in this zone for this stay?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

I would pay not more than $170 per night.

 

I also found 1 offer 5* hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui area in PRICELINE EXPRESS deals.

It offers $219 per night.

 

 

Is it possible that it will give out the same hotel?

I tried to ID the express deals hotel and it seem to be The Langham Hong Kong (not really sure)?

Select 5* Tsim Sha Tsui...

Bid $130, 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 $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Bidding up to $170 and turn out fail.

Maybe it is a little bit too low

[thereuare]

You're still about $50/nite below the PRICELINE EXPRESS property (and i suspect well below 'regular rates' for 5* hotels in this zone) which is probably too much of a discount to be seeking.

Using our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com what is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional booking channels?

What is your current gameplan at this point in time?

Still thinking between increase bidding or downgrad to 4* NYOP or 4* PRICELINE EXPRESS deal.

[thereuare]

Let us know once you decide how you'd like to proceed...

-increase your budget for a 5* hotel

-try for a 4* property with your $170 maximum bid

-go with PRICELINE EXPRESS
