Priceline Hotel: 4* London (Regents Park-Baker Street) Hilton Metropole

[Karisma]

Hi! I'm hoping to get a bidding strategy. I need a hotel for London. I would like to stay in Mayfair, Marble Arch, or Regeants Park area. I'm looking for a 4 * hotel. The highest amount I want to pay would be $150 per night. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've never bid on Priceline before so any tips would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Unfortunately no re-bid zones at the 4* level. $150 may be tough for these dates, but given you have a little time before your stay, i'd still try some lowball bids first. I'd begin as follows:

Select 4* Mayfair...

Bid $90, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Marble Arch...

Bid $90, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Regents Park...

Bid $90, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Mayfair and Marble Arch...

Bid $100, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Mayfair and Regents Park...

Bid $100, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Mayfair and Marble Arch and Regents Park...

Bid $110.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

I tried the bidding strategy but I was unsuccessful. When I got to bidding $100, I was given an offer of $107 in Regents Park/Baker Street Zone....BUT by the time I verified my credit card info I was told that the price was gone. Does this happen often??? I was unable to get the price again. When is the next time I can try bidding...24 hours? Again...thanks for your help!

I would try the following 24 hours after your last rejected bid...

Select 4* Mayfair...

Bid $105, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Marble Arch...

Bid $105, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Regents Park...

Bid $105, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Mayfair and Marble Arch...

Bid $110, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Mayfair and Regents Park...

Bid $110, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Mayfair and Marble Arch and Regents Park...

Bid $115.

Originally i would be increasing by more than $5 per bid for this stay, but given the counter-offer you received (although ultimately not available) i've reduced it to smaller increments.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Sorry I took a little bit to respond back. I used the strategy and I got the Hilton Metropole for $120.

Thanks for your help!
