montshiremike Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 Bid $59 counteroffer add $17. Rebid by adding North (no 4* in that zone) and increased bid by $8 for $67 which was accepted. $309.83 total for 4 nights, transparent rates are ~$930. Would have tried for the 5* Grand Hotel Amrath but the 5* in Amsterdam is is a poisoned zone due to the Krapnapolsky (sic) and one needs to be careful not to get "upgraded" to 5* when bidding 4*. Took my chances with 4* City Center, I'm happy with the result.Still trying to figure out Dublin, Ireland but not having any success there. Used the PRICELINE link.

Romelle Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 montshiremike,Regarding Dublin, have you looked at the retail (direct purchase) side of PRICELINE? There isn't a perfect correlation, but it can at least give you a good idea of what might show up as a win on the bidding side. IMO, Dublin is not one of the easier places in which to bid. One time I gave up and actually found rooms at Trinity College. Another time I ended up going with a HOTWIRE rate. But with the economy the way it is, things may well go better for you. Romelle
