Have any of you every used the "name your own price" part of Priceline? We just did it for the first time and I am so impressed! As some of you know we're going to Europe in a few months, and my boyfriend's boss said when he and his wife went they stayed in 4 or 5 star hotels for really cheap by using Priceline. Well, private rooms in hostels are pretty expensive in June if we want to be close to city centers. So we decided to give it a shot... if we pay the same amount we might as well stay somewhere nice! We ended up getting a gorgeous hotel in central Edinburgh with regular rates of around $250 a night, for just $85 a night. That's less than what we were going to pay for a hostel! We actually could have gotten it for $75 a night, as we found out later!

Our bid for a 5 star in Dublin was denied, but we can try again tonight (24 hours later).

Has anyone else gotten really good deals using this method? So far I'd totally recommend it if you're looking at hotel stays!
