adilsonocruz Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 EDIT: I just realized that I have post in the wrong forum. Please move to the Pricelina forum. Im looking for a 4* hotel in Prague in the zone Old Town Square - Astronomical Clock, starting from $70, using re-biding zones: Podoli - Vysehrad, Prague National Gallery - Holesovice Station, Prague North, from 7 May to 11 May. Today I have tried until the bid got $100 but with no success. Cheers! Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Do either of the following work for your needs (from HOTWIRE): 4* HOTWIRE Old Town Square - Astronomical Clock for $72.00 Free Internet Smoke Free Fitness Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Childrens Activities Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking ==> the Hotel Caesar Prague would be my best guess for this one 4* HOTWIRE Old Town Square - Astronomical Clock for $98.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Smoke Free Restaurant Laundry Hi-Speed Internet ==> best guess here would be the Archibald City Would one of these meet your needs?

adilsonocruz Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yes, they would meet my needs but I think I can get a better price bidding at PRICELINE. What do you think? PS: I just realized that I have post in the wrong forum. Please move to the Pricelina forum. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 We will keep this thread here since we can discuss both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE in the same thread, once you win a hotel the thread will be automatically moved (if necessary) if you use the 'ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN' button on the top right corner of the board. 44 minutes ago, adilsonocruz said: I think I can get a better price bidding at PRICELINE. What do you think? If i understand your original post correctly, you have already bid up to $100 for a 4 star hotel in the equivalent zone on PRICELINE... both of the HOTWIRE hotels are less than the price you have already bid, so why not take either of the above if they work for your needs? Obviously at this point in time $100 is not enough on PRICELINE... so why not take a HOTWIRE offer that is priced less than $100?

Because I´m trying to save some money and I hope to find a better price. If I can´t to that so I will book through hotwire. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Try to read carefully... PRICELINE bidding is going to cost more than $100/nite (based upon your most recent rejected bids for a 4* hotel) HOTWIRE has 4* hotels that cost less than $100/nite ... so if you're trying to save money why would you even bid higher than the current HOTWIRE rate??

adilsonocruz Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Ok, I will try to explain what I mean when I say that I´m trying to save money (English is not my main language so maybe I´m getting a bit confused). Now I have a simple apartment (without breakfast) booked (with cancellation free of charge) in Prague for $86. I would ratter book a $90 hotel (with breakfast) because I would save money, since I would not need to buy breakfast. So I pretend to spend some time taking my chance for a cheaper hotel (maybe I can find a $80 hotel on Priceline), and them I will save money. Now I see that I made a mistake bidding $100 on Priceline. Thanks for the attention. I´m always using your PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links! Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 So why not the $72/nite HOTWIRE hotel that is cheaper than your apartment rental and less than you have already bid on PRICELINE. It does not include breakfast, but there is no way to assure free breakfast when bidding on PRICELINE either. Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

adilsonocruz Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Ok, you convinced me :). But I just tried to do this and HOTWIRE added a $97.41 of tax recovery charges + fees, increasing the price to $96.25 ! See above: $72.00 per night x 4 nights x 1 room $288.00 Tax recovery charges + fees $97.41 This is normal? Can I get a cupom to pay less? Link to comment

AaronJB Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 PRICELINE has taxes/fees as regular rate services do. When you go through the check-out process during bidding you are shown the total before clicking to finalize the purchase and have PRICELINE search to see if a hotel will accept. I agree that the $72 HOTWIRE listing is a good option and if the Hotel Caesar Prague, that property gets good reviews. Thank you for keeping us updated on what you decide.

adilsonocruz Posted April 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hi guys! I keep bidding $60 ( so the final price be around $90 including fees) for a hotel in the zones Old Town Square - Astronomical Clock and New Town North but with no success. I hope that the prices drop near my vacation. Best regards! Link to comment
