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

[Rhine-and-Roses]

I used the bidding strategy you recommended for someone else for London. Started as $65 for 4* in various areas. Each time I added South Kensington I got an offer for $88, which I did not accept. Finally got a hotel for $80 in Kensington. It turned out to be Hilton Olympia, which was a little disappointing due to how far out it is. Normally I wouldn't really care as I normally fly into Heathrow (and take Picadilly in), but this time we are coming into London City.

The more recent TripAdvisor comments on this hotel are more favorable than the past ones.

Trip is for April 5-8, 2008

I used the Savings Barn link. Thanks!

Tried multiple times to book in Madrid Old Town in 4 and 5 * hotels, but all bids rejected and no counter offers. Started bidding at $80, went up to $150. Dates were for April 5-9. Finally decided to go to London instead, and will try Madrid another time, or use my Starwood points for the Westin.
