Priceline Hotel: 4* Paris (Eiffel Tower-Grenelle-Montparnasse) Pullman Rive Gauche

[larrylaffer]

I initially tried with a bid of 110 and added another area and took it to 125 and was accepted. Could have got it cheaper I think if I had not raised my initial bid by 15. Not too worry. I read that the hotel is a little out of the way but getting around Paris on the metro is more than fine.

I used the sites PRICELINE links.

Was this actually in the Eiffel Tower - Grenelle - Montparnasse zone? So far as I can tell, the boundaries of the zones haven't changed, so it would be a real surprise if you had gotten this hotel by bidding just for the St. Germain - Latin Quarter - Montparnasse zone?

Hi Willtravel.

Yes I started at 110 with the Latin Quarter Zone and then I added Eiffel Tower zone and landed this place. Do you think it is in the Eiffel Tower zone? Do you know much about the hotel and its surrounds? I am comfortable on the Paris metro so it should not be too much of an issue if it is outside the zone a little bit.

Yes, it's definitely in the Eiffel Tower zone. Thanks for posting your bidding history.

It wouldn't be my choice of areas, but with planning, you can make it work, I'm sure. I think the closest I've been to the hotel area is when I went to the Theatre Brancion (which is worth checking to see if they have anything interesting playing).

I like to use the transit planner at www.ratp.fr .

Congratualtions on your win!

It appears that you're near three different train lines so hopefully this will make getting around the city a bit easier from this location.

Thanks for sharing it with the board and for using our PRICELINE links to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
