How Bid4Rooms Works
Users bid on 5 star hotels in London that are put on the website in the form of an online auction. Bid4Rooms generates revenue by charging each user for bids and also gets revenue from the auction end price as the winning user when he or she has won the auction will need to pay the winning auction price in order to stay at the hotel. The maximum price you pay for a one night stay is £50.00 and £100.00 for a two night stay.

The site lists hotels by the area they are in and not by name, the name of the hotel is kept secret.

Bid4Rooms USP is that the website gives users the power as to how much to pay for a hotel room knowing that the maximum they will pay is just £50.00 for a one night stay and £100.00 for a two night stay.
