Priceline Hotel: 5* Barcelona

[SeBad]

First of all, I'd like to say how awesome this website is. Thanks to whomever is running it and supporting it!

 

So about the trip now. I am planning a trip with my GF and a friend. Where we will need two rooms. We would want the following:

1. 5 star hotel
2. Barcelona
   1. La Rambla
   2. Port Olympic
   3. Old Town - El Born
3. Travelling between July 19th to July 24th
4. Willing to pay up to 150 dollars a night per room
5. Two rooms
6. No specific amenities because 5 starts usually have it all :P

 

It is June 16th now, a month prior to the trip. I have tried multiple strategies by choosing one zone, star, price (70% discount) then increase the zones. Then I would restart with a higher bid going up to 150 dollars a night (40% discount).

 

Does this strategy work? Also when would be the best time to bid? Also is my max bidding price to low (median price for area $250)? Would it be better to split the trip up into two and possibly change hotels mid stay?

 

Would really appreciate the help!

As i just mentioned in my reply to your previous thread, the 'median' price shown by PRICELINE is not really an accurate number.

 

My guess is that you will likely need to be around $200+ to be successful for a 5* hotel in one of the zones above based upon current rates.  Please confirm your maximum bid amount and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.
