Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this location and now you have to choose a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and relied on the face-to-face guidance you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by utilizing travel websites.
But how do you sift through the amazing options available? And more significantly, do you really trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise caution. They are frequently biased, in some cases out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are very important to the reviewer are very important to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you see how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have upset customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have pleased visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to learn that hotels in some cases post their own glowing reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is really essential to you when selecting a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory site that provides updated, independent, impartial info that really matters.

Here are some of the key facts you should keep in mind: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near to the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is vital. Any decent directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided as well as some form of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is necessary to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfy – contemporary or conventional furnishings, local decor or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you know of the choices offered.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is terrific but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play an important part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether they are clever or informal. A good hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the type of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider essential. The hotel directory site should elaborate on matters such as bed size, Internet Access (its cost, whether there is WIFI or wired broadband connection), Complimentary features, views from the room and high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of cigarette smoking or non-smoking rooms, etc

. These things really do matter and any decent hotel directory site should give you this sort of guidance on bed rooms – not just the number of rooms which is the usual choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the household tourist than the business tourist. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. One thing worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For the business tourist wishing to escape children, this is obviously extremely pertinent too – maybe a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, health club, sauna – as well as details of any other facilities nearby such as golf courses.

7. Special Needs: the hotel directory site should advise the visitor of each hotel’s special needs services and accessibility policy. Whilst again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely vital to some.

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site assessment team should have visited the hotel in question on a regular basis, met the personnel, slept in a bedroom and tasted the food. They should experience the hotel as only a hotel guest can and it is only then that they are really in a strong position to write about the hotel.
with the above details, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
