phillai Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Which priceline website is the best for me to try and get as cheap as possible 4 or 5 star hotel in Hong Kong?Would it be...priceline.co.uk (UK's version of Priceline)priceline.compriceline.com.hk (Hong Kong's version of Priceline)I am a UK resident and I can bid on any of these three sites but I'm not sure which option is best for me to try and get 11 nights accomodation in March 2008.Many thanks in advance to all replies.

blindman Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Welcome to Betterbidding.You should find that there is no difference between any of those sites as alledgedly they all use the same database.As a UK user IMHO I'd use the UK site as if there's any problems (rare) you can supposedly get in touch easier.(Having said that I've had to contact the US PL site and they did respond reasonably well).The advantage of using the US site is that they have the "add a night feature" whilst the UK site doesn't.(They also have insurance, though IMHO it's useless!)Give us your extact dates ,maximum budget + areas to stay and we'll help.

I've booked on priceline for a hotel in Amsterdam before so I'm aware of some of the pricing strategy needed but I want to say thanks anyway for the lovely tips that you showed me on moneysavingexpert.com... It's always good to get a refresher on what to do.I'm going to be in Hong Kong on Wednesday 5th March and need to check out on Sunday 16th March. I prefer to stay in Tsim Sha Tsui this time but I can stay in Mong Kok and 'push come to shove' I can stay around Central as well. I was hoping to spend around Link to comment
