Welcome to BetterBidding!

The 4* Central Rome property it is a match for the Bettoja Hotel Mediterraneo so that woudl be our best guess. Unfortunatley the other properties have not yet been identified or reported to the board.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I would appreciate help identifying this hotel in Rome, Italy on HOTWIRE:

5* Rome (Central), Boutique hotel, Restaurant, Business Center, and Spa.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks again.

Is it possible to request a "non-smoking" room (or how can I guarantee that I would get a "non-smoking" room)

when booking through HOTWIRE or bidding on PRICELINE, especially in Europe?

[thereuare]

HOTWIRE uses a Smoke Free icon for some properties which indicate that all rooms are non-smoking.

Otherwise see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.

Thanks on the reply regarding "non-smoking" rooms.

Also, Is it possible to bid on Priceline for a "triple" occupancy room?

Are you given the option to select the number of people in a room? Or, is it based on 2 people per room?

There are 3 of us travelling to Rome 9/17 - 9/19 and would prefer to get 1 room (with 3 people) instead of 2 rooms.

I was considering HOTWIRE and it looks like they will accomodate a triple. I am also considering PRICELINE and wasn't sure about the "triple" option.

Thanks.

PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel (and in Europe a room for triple occupancy can be difficult, especially since these are often considered upgrades and not the 'standard' room)

HOTWIRE guarantees occupancy for the number of people you include in your search. When searching for triple/quad occupancy this often equates two beds, but the 'second bed' could be a pullout sofabed, rollaway, etc.

We went ahead and made our decision on our hotel room in Rome....we ended up not using HOTWIRE or PRICELINE. We just purchased directly through a hotel, so that we could guarantee a "triple" room & non-smoking. We decided with the Hotel Astrid (in northern Rome; north of the Vatican). The hotel got great reviews from past customers.

The price was okay; not as good as Hotwire would have been. I will go with HOTWIRE or PRICELINE next time (when we only have 2 people in a room).

Thanks for the follow-up and closing this thread with your ultimate decision.

The board also got a great collection of links at our support page for your hotel direct purchases.

Have a good stay.
