Hotwire Hotel: Help IDing hilton prague

[peter6622]

hi,

I am trying to find the 5* hotel "hilton prague" (NOT "hilton old town prague"! which is higher in price) @hotwire or @priceline for 18-19 june 2016:

Its not sure if it is one of the offered but maybe you can help me to identify if it is one:

 

@hotwire there are 3 offers for 5*s at the right area (old town square - astronomical clock):

1st:  90$, 60% recommended, free Internet,  

Business center

•   Casino Casino
•   Fitness center Fitness center
•   Golf nearby Golf nearby
•   Restaurant(s) Restaurant(s)
•   Spa services Spa services
•   Tennis nearby Tennis nearby

2nd: 92$, 95% recommended,

      no inforamtion about amenities!!!

3rd: can not be to hilton (to high in Price!)

 

as the normal price for the "hilton prague" is around 117$ I guess it is no one, as the price difference is only about 22%.

 

@priceline (open) the "hilton prague" is rated 8.2 of 10 (52 reviews) and a price of 117$.

@ priceline express deals there is no lower priced 5* in the right area, so it is obvisously not offered there at the moment.

 

I have no experience with "Name your own orice @ priceline" to get a good rate for the "hilton prague", but maybe ist an option...

can you give me some help at which rate I should start bidding @ NYOP? do you think there is a chance to get it with NYOP lower than 70$?

 

thanks,

ralf from germany

Please start by following-up your previous Hotwire Paris hotel thread with whatever you ended up doing fort that trip, then reply here and we will ahve a look at the offer above.

 

Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans.

 

Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

 

Thanks.

[peter6622]

okay, done.

thanks for helping now to ID the "hilton prague" or give some assistance for NYOP strategy...

I don't believe any of the above are the Hilton Prague and there is no way to 'force' HOTWIRE to show you a specific hotel.

 

Similarly, with PRICELINE there is now way to bid on or target one specific property.

 

However, what is the point?  If you're willing to pay the $90/nite of the HOTWIRE offer(s) above, you can book the Hilton Prague (please confirm your dates on the landing page and use this link for your purchase) for $100/nite, which on an all-in basis is only $3 more than the least expensive HOTWIRE offer and you know with certainty that you'll get exactly the hotel you're hoping for.

...the point is more where it is located than the hilton itself.

it is very close to the bus station where we have to be next morning at 7.

but I am not willing to pay 90$! ...maximum 75$ for 1 night without breakfast...

but if there is no chance to ID and no possibility to bid specific on it there is no chance to get that price...

So all of the HOTWIRE hotels above were beyond your price range anyway?!?! (researching hotels can be a time consuming process... please don't ask us to research hotels which are beyond your budget or that you're not considering for purchase)

 

I'm seeing what appears to be the 4* Jurys Inn Prague for $70/nite on HOTWIRE, which is located very close to the Hilton Prague... does this one work for your needs?

 

If not, what if you enter the address you want to be close to into the search box at MAPS and HOTELS.com (search within 1 mile (or 3 miles??))... you'll then see all of your options and be able to decide if there is anything within your budget close to the station or if the savings are worth going up/down in star rating or staying further from your ideal location.

[peter6622]

yes, you are right. It made no sense to let you search for the hilton if it would be above the limit in case that you could ID it as one of the mentioned...sorry.

and I did not know that I cannot bid specific at NYOP.

4* jurys Inn is maybe an option (if its nearby)...I will have a look on it. 70$/night would be the normal price? or did you ID the jury`s?

thanks

Search using our BiddingHelper.com tool for 2adults/1child and in the EASY VIEW tab there should be a 4* hotel offered for $70/nite with these amenities:

Restaurant, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower, Pet Friendly

(NOTE: the property above should show a 90% recommendation from previous HOTWIRE guests when you click on it... if you search for 2adults/0children a different 4* hotel for $70/nite that has fewer amenities and is only 50% recommended by previous guests)

 

... my guess for the HOTWIRE offer above (with all 13 amenities) would be the Jurys Inn.

[peter6622]

okay,

thank your for this information.

the jurys inn4* is really an option - depends on the price - as I now found the hilton prague 5* (regular booked) with 35% winter discount for HHonors members at 78euro (about 84$).

if there is some additional fee when booed the jurys at 70$ there will be no big difference in price.

p.s. this time I am only looking for accomodation for 2 adults (no child!).

thanks

Searching 2adults/1child was to get the 'right' hotel to appear, as per my post above, when i was searching for only 2adults i was offered a different property with fewer amenities and a lower percent recommended by previous HOTWIRE guests.

[peter6622]

okay, thanks for helping.

I like to close this threat (without any decision yet) and decide later or after Arrival.

thanks

Please follow-up this thread with whatever you decided to do for this trip once you make your decision.

 

Even though you'll be traveling at the time of your purchase, please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links here for your purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com if you decide to book a 'named' hotel (which can also be quite convenient if it's getting late in the day and you need a hotel near your current location)

 

Let us know what you decide for this stay.

[peter6622]

to finalize that...at the end I booked another hotel (forgot the name) in prague without using priceline or hotwire...anyway thanks for help.

 

would be great I you now could help me with my new Topic (help to ID hotwire-hotel in Valencia...trying to find out the "melia Valencia"

 

thanks

[thereuare]

Thank you for closing this thread with your decision.

 

In the future when PRICELINE / HOTWIRE don't work for your needs, it would be appreciated if you used our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate bookings.

 

Hope you enjoyed your stay.
