Posts: 3 Apr 20 12 12:33 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None Hi have just joined this forum so this is the first post. I have previously booked a Priceline hotel in Amsterdam (Barbizon Palace) and now looking to book three nights in Stockholm from 30 May. Would be exceptionally happy if I could get a winning bid for the Courtyard at prices referred to above. My question is that I am happy to use the link but I am from Australia and need to book throught the UK site. When I try the link it is the USA site. Any suggestions or comments?

We hope you will be honest when you answer this question because it is very apparent on many requests that the person answers yes to this when they have not read our Hotel FAQ.

I'm confused. Why are you listing different areas if there is only one zone? When did you last bid, for which quality level and how high? Also, please post rates per night, before tax. That's what the Bidding Assistance Form says to do. Please place all of your Priceline bids through our Priceline link. Please check rates at Hotwire and make your bookings through our Hotwire link.

Our daughter is in Stockholm on a 12 month exchange and when she has recommended against the area which the Mariott. From the research Sheraton and Hilton have had successful bids and she has advised they are well located so have changed to them but need to check what to bid. Why are you listing different areas if there is only one zone? - my mistake. Is the central zone that I think we need. When did you last bid, for which quality level and how high? - USA time Friday 20 April at 22.03 at $120 per night for a 4*which I appreciate had no chance. It was really only a test. Also, please post rates per night, before tax. - ok. Sheraton $273.33 per night, Hilton $390 per night and Hotel Rival $335 per night. Apologies that I did not get it right. It is Saturday afternoon in Australia and I was reading the form as well as listening to the football (Australian Rules) and as my wife has told me before men can not multi task!
