Priceline Hotel: 5* Cannes 5/5 - 5/8 Express Deal

[charlievb]

Hi i am looking to go to Cannes next May. Want to stay in 5*.

 

I saw on PL express deals, an offer of 102 GBP per night, for these dates.

 

Any idea what this might be;

 

Amenities:

Restaurant

 

 

Also would I stand to save much from bidding?

Please post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to future interpretation based upon changes in currency rates (you can change to US Dollars by using the dropdown menu on the top right corner of the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE homepages)

My guess for the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer above would be the Grand Hotel.

Apologies, its $155 per night.

 

Do you think with bidding I could get for $135-140? What sort of strategy should I use?

Bidding is generally slightly-to-moderately cheaper than PRICELINE EXPRESS, but you need to be willing to accept any hotel at the star rating picked in the zone picked. What is showing on PRICELINE EXPRESS is definitely not necessarily what you may get bidding.

What is it that is more important to you for this stay... the lowest possible price (bidding on PRICELINE) or the ability to guess as to which hotel you will receive prior to your purchase (PRICELINE EXPRESS)? If bidding, and rejected up to $140, would you then take the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer at $155?

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.

Well from my research the standard of any 5* hotel in Cannes is pretty high. So I would be happy with any 5* for the cheapest price.
