Priceline Hotel: 4* Stockholm (Sodermalm) Hilton Stockholm Slussen

[das_ubersoldat]

Hi,

 

I have been trying to win a 4* in Sodermalm for a while now. Today at a bid of 100 USD I got a counteroffer for 126. I continued in 1 USD increments until 108 but I only got the same counter offer for 126.

 

I'm hoping for the Hilton (but it could be the Clarion as well). What price do you think is realistic here? The Hilton is available for 145 +tax and the Clarion for 139 +tax. I have a backup  reservation for the Courtyard Stockholm incl. breakfast for 118 USD (incl. tax).

The 'right' price is obviously somewhere between $109-$126, which is already a narrow enough range that it wouldn't be meaningful to try to narrow it down any further (ie- it's in the right ballpark and can't be narrowed down any further).

However, note that the Hotelll Arstaviken is also a 4* hotel in this zone and at $103/nite is actually priced less then you have already bid. I'm guessing there might be no inventory on the opaque side for this property and that is why you have not won this property (or perhaps the 'twin room' doesn't qualify as double occupancy to be won on the bidding side??)

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Let us know what you ultimately decide up on and how it goes.

Good luck!

Maybe the reason is that it has only a rating of 7.5/10 while Sodermalm has 8+ for 4*?

108 USD failed (counteroffer for +18). 109 was a win and exactly the hotel I wanted.
