Tiki Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's been a long time since I used PRICELINE but I was encouraged by all the other recent bargains being posted. I lowballed Amsterdam at $55 a night, expecting to be told to take a hike. PL came back with a counter offer of $64 a night which was lower than the previous reported win for $67 so I took it. I normally wouldn't book THIS far in advance but there appears to be a major conference in Amsterdam starting 10 Sep (IBC whatever that is) so I didn't want to risk everything being booked up. The hotel seems to be close enough to the tourist sights, will check it out on Trip Advisor. A backpacker place would have cost $28 USD a night for a dorm bed x 2 beds which is what we were looking at prior to these awesome PL deals so I'm really happy we are staying in a 4* for just a few $$ more than a backpacker dorm! The hotel says 150 Euros on the NH webiste.Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $64.00 (USD)Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 2Room Subtotal: $128.00 (USD)Taxes and Fees: $23.48 (USD)Total Room Cost: $151.48 (USD)***I used your PRICELINE link, Theruare!
