You cannot bid on a specific hotel, inclass. If you bid for a 4* hotel in the Kensington zone on Priceline, the Hilton Olympia is a possibility, but only one of at least five possibilities. (You should double-check the Priceline London zones for yourself, though, as they might have changed since I last looked at them.)

HIlton has an offer right now 50% off WITH breakfast for many dates so take a look at their website first.
Secondly, you do not bid on any particular hotel.. you need to read up about priceline as you do not understand how it works.
It is blind bidding by zone and star level (the olympia is 4*) , all of which you would have realized had you gone to the two websites mentioned.
One finds out the name of the hotel only after the bidding and payment is done and accpeted.
I do not recommend anyone try "name your own price" at priceline without READING all the material you can.
www.londontown.com is also excellent.
www.hotwire.com, also.

I used Priceline for a trip coming up this week. I asked for Bloomsbury and got the St. Pancras Novotel. Nothing wrong with that, just not the choicest location. However, for $100 USD a night, it will give me lots more spending money for dining and shopping! I'm quite happy to be near lots of tube and train stations as the forecast is for rain every day.
