has anyone used Hotwire or Priceline to find hotels in Germany or Austria????
Thanks

Hotwire and Priceline are a great way to save money on hotels in large European cities such as London, Paris, Munich or near large airports. But they aren't much use in the smaller towns and villages.

If you do a search in the Europe forums for Priceline, I'm sure you will find lots of useful information.

I can;t seem to find any e.mails on priceline from fellow fodorites. any suggestions how to pull up these e,mails as my heading doesn't seem to be drawing any responses other than yours

CHRISTA7, within the Europe Forum, I typed Priceline Hotels in the Search box and came up with at least a few hundred posts on the subject.

I've used Priceline twice in Frankfurt. Both times I got Movenpick Hotel. I bid for a 4* in the west. It is a very nice new hotel. But the breakfast is 19€. I skipped it.

I know that this is an ancient post........but I just wanted to let you know that I stayed in an ENORMOUS room recently in the Bristol in Vienna for 110 dollars thanks to bidding on Priceline.

We'll be staying in Vienna at the Marriott this month......$105 a night. An even better deal, we'll be staying in the Budapest Marriott where every room has a view of the Danube for $65 a night. And, lastly, we're staying at the Moevenpick in Prague for $55 a night. All through Priceline...we're big fans.
