bledig Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 It took me a few tries to get this. I first started with the Mayfair/Soho district, 4*, bids of $90, $95, $98, $104 all rejected, sometimes counter offers of $191 or $131 given. Then I decided to try Bloomsbury/Marble Arch as read that it was a little cheaper but still a good location. Tried $85, $92, $95, $98, $100 (some combined with Mayfair/Soho to get rebid). Counter offers of $131 and $121 were given on some bids.Hope it turns out to be a decent hotel as I've read a few reviews that were not too favorable, but that's the chance you take with Priceline I guess!

bledig Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 Just a note, 5 years later as I'm looking for a hotel in London again, that London hotels were/are very overpriced for what you get. This Thistle hotel we had was not up to expectations for a 4* hotel in cities with newer / renovated rooms (e.g. North American resorts). We got stuck with a twin, where the single beds do not move, and a toilet that was probably 100 years old.
