Jack Thomas Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi I was wondering if someone could help me, I'm trying to get a hotel in Edinburgh for March 19 - 22. My price range is around $100 dollars. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
yellowdog Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Jack Thomas - Welcome To BetterBidding!Edinburgh got 3 zones when using Priceline. Where do you want to stay? And what * level are you ok with?Henrik. Link to comment
Jack Thomas Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi, Thank you for replying sorry it took so long for me to respond. I don't really know which area to stay in, its my first time in Scotland is there a good area for a first timer? Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 We have a few board members who can probably advise which area(s) might be the best, but in the meantime (just in case nobody responds) i'd recommend finding the location of the things you'd like to do during this stay, plot them on a map, and then see which zone contains most of the things you intend on seeing/doing. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
WillTravel Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 In Edinburgh, I like to be close to High Street (also called the Royal Mile). If not there, at least close to Princes Street. If you are in this general area, almost all Edinburgh attractions are quite walkable. (For reference, I think just about the very best located hotel is the Radisson SAS.)Priceline's City Center zone, which includes this area, is quite large. So you may end up on the edge of town, and not in easy walking distance. I'm fairly sure that you would still have good public transit if you ended up on the edge, but I would fully investigate this angle first.If you choose the West City Centre zone, you may be near two major art museums, but not much else. You should also carefully investigate the public transit options from there.I would not recommend Airport/Southwest, but you could look into the public transit options.I strongly suggest booking a backup option. The problem is that your budget is so low that it's just more than enough for two hostel beds. At this late date, you may not be able to book these, but look at the Premier Travel Inn and the Travelodges in Edinburgh. Also, the central Ibis hotel. You need to figure out the price of your lowest-priced acceptable option, so that you will have an idea about how much to bid. My concern is that $100 is just not going to be enough (although it's possible). Link to comment
