Priceline Hotel: 4* Salzburg Renaissance Congress Center Hotel

[darioc]

hi guys.

im very new to this.

might need some help?

how do you post a question? is what im doing now ok?

im going to europe in 5 months.iv already bought a few things from HOTWIRE which have turned out good.

is it to early to start bidding for hotels? iv already started bidding without the link by mistake but il ensure il use it from now on.

all my bids have been unsuccesful so far i think its beacause i was bidding 50 and 60 dollers. how far up should i go?

also im bidding from australia. is that ok? in the address area i put alabama and a made up zip code. and also made up phone number.any suggestions?

all help is appreciated.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Europe is a large place :) Exactly what are your travel dates, which areas/zones are you bidding, and for what star rating are you bidding?

[darioc]

my travel dates are mid september to early october.

i would like accom. in nice, salzburg, vienna, rome and cinque terre.

i would like to stay in 4 and 5 star if the prices are good, otherwise 3 star.

many thanks

Start with one city and let us know the actual dates of your stay.

For that city, what do you consider a 'good price'? Are you willing to pay more for a 5* vs a 4* or is the least expensive four star or better what you're seeking?

[darioc]

ok. im getting the hang of this

i dont mind spending a little extra for a five star hotel but if it means more than a quarter of the price i would probably stick with the 4*.

i got impatient the other day and jumped from a $40 bid to an $80 bid for Salzburg. i was successful in a getting a good reputable 4* star hotel. i was happy both with the price and the hotel.

so getting back to my original questions

il be in nice 15 sept 2-3 days

il be in vienna 29th sept 2-3 days

il be in rome early oct(dates flexible)

cinque terre (yet to decide dates)

what price should i start bidding? what prices should i stop bidding and restart bidding later (i ask this because ive read that prices and supply are always changing?

thanks for your patience

[darioc]

:) :) oops.... i forgot prices i expect to pay

not sure because prices are so different from each websites.

my max spend on a hotel is 90 - 100 + taxes US and thats pushing it. am i kidding myself?

another question that i have is why do some hotels have higher taxes. i noticed a 4*star hotel in london twice the amount of tax then a 3 1/2 star in the same area.this is from hotwire about 3 months ago
