Priceline Hotel: 4* London (Kensington-Earls Court-Knightsbridge) Hilton Olympia

[ozgirl]

Hi,

Helped a friend bid for a hotel in London for 20-27 Apr. Sucessful with the 4* Hilton Olympia in the Kensington area for $75.

I've stayed here before and I think that's a good price.

Cheers,

Ozgirl,

What a great deal you got.

I am very very new to this forum, and was wondering if I could ask how you got this deal?

My boyfriend and I are going to London end of March and still hunding for a place to stay!

Thanks!!!

I guess I should say we are looking at trying to stay within $75 a night.

I have never tried prices ine or hotwire before, so any help would be fantastic!

Thanks!

Hi Shodzic,

I would do as thereuare suggested and start a brand new thread and ask for advice. They are the experts and I merely use priceline based on the advice I see posted or I receive. But for London I've found that $70-$75 is probably the mark for a 4*. Although some lucky bidders have won something for $65-$70 mark too. I prefer the Bloomsbury and the Mayfair areas in London but the Kensington area is nice too. I've stayed in both and also in the City/Tower area. I managed to get the Hilton Islington last year for my parents and they liked that area too. But I think City and Islington are probably a little out of the way for my liking.

But $70-$75 for a hotel in London is a bargain in any case. You can't go wrong!!

Happy bidding!

Ozgirl.

PS I've used priceline for hotels in LA, New York, London and Paris. And recently for Honolulu. I've always been happy with the results.
