Hazel Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 Hi Guys,I'm looking to stay in a 5* hotel in KL on those dates. I haven't seen many topics for this area, was hoping if anyone had any tips/input?Better to go to priceline us site or singapore site? or is there another one?many thanks
yellowdog Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding :) I don't know much about Kuala Lumpur and it's not very frequent on the board. But maybe we have a member that got some good advice for you. Good luck with everything!Yellowdog.
Chris26WI Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 "Usually", the Renaissance had shown up previously for KUL, with the "New Wing" as 4 star and the "Renaissance Wing" as 5star.. (avoid the "New Wing" in any case!). Sometimes also the Sheraton Imperial (5-star).. but has been quite a while since I've seen it been reported. I don't assume that there's a big difference between using the asian or the us version of priceline.. seems they have the same inventory (no guarantee though).
Hazel Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Posted November 5, 2009 I've tried to bid for a 5 star but it wont let me?it says, please change your option... so how?oh and it then saysThank You for Naming Your Own Price – Unfortunately, we can't accept your offer
yellowdog Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 HazelDo you get rejected when you bid or is this an error message?Yellowdog.
Hazel Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Posted November 5, 2009 HazelDo you get rejected when you bid or is this an error message?Yellowdog.yeap this is after I go through everything and it tries to bid for me I guess
Hazel Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Posted November 5, 2009 is it because no 5* hotels exist in KL?
yellowdog Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 is it because no 5* hotels exist in KL?No, it's just beacouse your bid is to low for the *level. The 5* option would not been "active" for your dates if they lacked inventory. Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Yellowdog.
Hazel Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Posted November 5, 2009 Oh ok,but even before it asks me to change my price, it asks me to change my star rating?
yellowdog Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 but even before it asks me to change my price, it asks me to change my star rating?Yes, you only have one shot.Please read this link: Priceline Re-Bidding ExplainedPlease use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Yellowdog.
sniper58 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 I beg to differ. Priceline HK/Singapore has different inventory than Priceline USA. Also, Priceline UK accepts some of my bids when Priceline USA wouldn't.Check out Asia Travel. Sometimes they have special deal like this. < US$100 for 5 star at KLCC vicinity. (http://book.asiatravel.com/Hotel.aspx?hid=377#hotel). The hotel list here shd give u some clue on which hotel offers that 'suite' deal (in this case, my guess is Prince, scroll all e way down). http://www.asiatravel.com/malaysia.htmlEnjoy. :)
