Rufusqueen Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hi. New to this forum. First time trying out Hotwire but I am still unsure whether it will be a good bargain.

thereuare Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Welcome to BetterBidding! While we're happy to help, researching hotels can be a time consuming process, and even if each hotel above only took 3 minutes (each would likely take much longer) we're looking at over an hour just for your post above, which would not enable us to respond to other users in a timely manner for their own trips. Using your favorite zones, reviews shown by previous HOTWIRE guests, and your budget, i assume you could somewhat easily whittle the list above down to just a few hotels? For example the last one... would you really be willing to pay $2210 per nite for a hotel room this trip?? Do most of the zones above meet your criteria of 'living somewhere mayfair / knightsbridge area' (ie- is staying at Heathrow at realistic option for this stay?) We'll start with the most likely options... given your budget and desired location, which are the top 3-4 that you think meet your criteria?

Rufusqueen Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hi I see your point there.. can we filter the list to his 2 areas: 1, Mayfair - Piccadilly Circus - Soho 2. Chelsea - Knightsbridge - Harrods What I would like to do is to get the hotel clues and then I want to compare with the best rates of websites and choose the one with best bargain if compared to the normal rate.

Rufusqueen Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Mayfair - Piccadilly Circus - Soho FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower USD 406 ** Could this be Sofitel ( I tried to compare with the hotwire list here: http://www.betterbidding.com/index.php?app=hotel_lists&tid=12693 Is it really a bargain. USD406 sound steep for secret hotel. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yes, the Sofitel St James would be my best guess for the HOTWIRE property above.

Rufusqueen Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Dont think so proceeding with hotwire.. as I tried to compare best rate at other booking websites.. the price is almost the same when you consider daily deals / secret deals (but you know the hotel that you are staying at).. so whats the purpose of secret hotel at a bargain?. Unless, there is really a good bargain, Ill stick with paying my bucks at something that I am certain with. Link to comment
