Templario Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Hi all, how much is the lower price should I bid for a 4 stars hotel in the opera quarter. If is not that area what other do you suggest me?
Cansunseeker Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 I attempted to bid multiple times for that week for several days. I don't know what is going on in Paris that week a convention, a special event all hotels are pricey. My bids included every region except La Defense and Batignolles 4 star. Counter bid was at 198.00 a night. All bids were rejected until I reached 139.00 140.00 being my max.I lucked out and got Melia Royal Alma Boutique Hotel 4 start in the Arc de Triomphe - Champs Elysees region It's not Opera Quarter but close enough. The hotel has a prime location smack in the middle of all sights 5-10 min to Eiffel, Arc, Louvre 5min to Les Invalid 500 meters from the seine. You can't beat this location. Hope this helps

Templario Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Posted August 12, 2009 Hi, I need some help with a bidding strategy. I began with a budget of $110 but after reading some recent positing I notices that will be low. I wonder if I can get something for $120 or it is still low.Thanks for your help
Romelle Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Have you looked at the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins above for your dates (used Other Countries - Priceline)? Or just did a QUICK SEARCH on Paris - top of this page?Both of those will give you a little more information as to what might or might not work as a bid?You might read the reviews of the different hotels other people have reported here (Hotel Review tab). That might help you decide which areas you would like. You need to do this before you get into bidding. You have over a month yet. After you have decided which areas you want, another easy way to find out what might work is to just bid. Start lower than anything you've seen posted as a win, and work your way up gradually. There are no "free rebids" for Paris 4*, so you will only get one bid each 24 hours if you only want one area. If you decide to consider more areas, you can have multiple bids each 24 hours, adding in an area at a time as you increase your bid. Romelle

thereuare Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 Is your currentn maximum bid $140 for these zones? (which wouldn't likely be necessary given your $137 counter-offer)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
