Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has used the priceline site that Martin highlights in the main site ... (about half way down the link page)
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-hotels
I was looking to use it, but seems like you need a USA or Canada address! Anyone know if it's possible to use this site from within the UK?
Cheers!

This GUIDE may help you

It was also mentioned in the discussion forum for this topic :rolleyes:

I think Martin needs to update his article to point to the UK site. I know there are ways to get the US site workign for UK residents but I just prefer to use the UK site ..... hope you're hearing this Martin. ??

www.priceline.co.uk is the UK version and I have used it when travelling to Paris.

Hi Balsingh,

You might already know...Priceline is run by Active Hotels...a booking affiliate...so I'm pretty sure I'm right in thinking you only get their price for the hotel? The same hotels will be offering loads of different rates and the Active Hotels one may not be the cheapest. The priceline site is easy to use though!

I'm assuming that the 'Name Your Own Price' part of Priceline was what balsingh was referring to rather than the retail site.

A fantastic site which should have been mentioned that i have used for many years is www.smoothhound.co.uk - its great if you want to find the best deals on the smaller hotels and especially the smaller b&b's and guest houses which many other sites do not list. It also offers all the major chains. I find it extremely quick and easy to use Hope this helps as much as Smooth Hound has helped me!

This site is fab it came up with the cheapest and ones that weren't even on the Tourist Board site (which was crap for Hereford) Thanks:T
