butch21 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 This is the first time i used PRICELINE and i was worried about what i would get. I by chance entered 75 dollars a night and I didn't think it would be accepted but it was!!!! The hotel is 5 star and is in an excellent location. Very satisfied with the results!
Ryu Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 are you sure this is a 5* ? it says 4* on the hotel list. i also got this hotel but for $60 a night. when are your dates?

butch21 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 priceline lists it as a 4 star. Travelocity lists it as 5 star and if i remember correctly so does Orbitz. But i did notice that when i googled the hotel some list it as 4 star where others list it as 5 star. I believe the nh website lists it as 5 star as well.Regardless, it is an amazing deal and it is listed as a 4 star on priceline. So on priceline, I bid 75 dollars and i got the nh amsterdam centre 4 star hotel from april 17th-24th!!! :)As for the reply for the member who got it for 60$..this is the first time i was using priceline bidding (which is aaamazing :) )and i read the blogs about those members who bid 60-70 and got the nh krasnopolsky and they stated how they were a little worried because eventhough it had 5 star rating that it also had poor reviews compared to the other nh hotels in amsterdam. I thought that if i started bidding a little higher that i would end up with something else. I'm still learning how to use it and how to go about bidding specific prices..But that's great that you got if for 60!!!! i'm staying there the third week in april for a week. What dates did you book for that you got it for 60?
thereuare Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 I thought that if i started bidding a little higher that i would end up with something else.While it's good that this worked out for you this stay, this is generally not a recommended strategy, as per this thread: Don't Bid Higher For a Specific Hotel.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
