[luveurope]

C :) oming back on August 17 from London Luton, flying out next day Heathrow via Paddington, want to stay in a zone adjacent to Paddington.

Tried marble arch bid $65 3* no

added notting hill bid $70 3* no

added regents park bid $75 no

think I will flee to fight this another day!

was successful with 4* for $80.00 Aug 11-13 in Kensington so must be the days. :)

Maybe you've decided not to take the tube to Heathrow, but most of the 4* hotels in the Kensington zone are very convenient to the Piccadilly Line (except for Hilton Olympia just going by memory). If you don't mind carrying your bags down some stairs, the Piccadilly Line works very well for getting to Heathrow.

Otherwise, it may be that your bids are too low. Kensington might be the cheapest available zone right now. It isn't always the case that the more desirable zone costs more.

Thank you, I didnt realize that Piccadilly was a straight shot to Heathrow. Havent stayed in Kensington area before, just Marble Arch area. Will try again!

Now you just have to go to the Gloucester Road tube station and take the Piccadilly Line.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you've gotten another nite of your trip taken care of.

Hotels certainly seem to come and go in streaks... this is one of the 'hotels du jour'.

Enjoy your stay.
