Priceline Hotel: 4* Brussels NH Brussels City Centre

[marnie_g]

I really wanted the NH Amsterdam City Centre because of its location near to the Palace as we are staying only a day.

I logged into priceline from this site.

The latest successful bid on priceline was $75 however previously it was $57 which was won by a betterbidding member for June.

The lowest deal I could find was E72 for the night of the 15th August which is approx $96 so......I took a chance and hoped I didn't end up further out and bid at $57. I got a once off offer to lift the bid to $74... had a feeling it was the NH so I just took it.

Very happy, good hotel, good price, perfect location.

Thanks for the info fellow bb members have submitted.

Cheers,

Congratulations on your success!

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding :)

Just to clarify. You mention NH Amsterdam in you post but your topic says Brussels? Can you please comfirm that this is for Brussels.

Sounds like your happy with the outcome, so enjoy your stay!

When you look at those prior results in other countries, you have to take the currency exchange rates into consideration. I believe that when the $57 rate was won the Euro was less expensive against the dollar than it is now.

Of course there are lots of other factors at play also like the hotel simply changing the rate, different dates, etc.

When you have enough time (and energy) to make more bids, it usually is a good idea to explore the range between a failed bid and a counter offer. Even an additional dollar can turn the trick.

And I'm wondering about that Brussels in your title and Amsterdam in the body of your note??
