Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this destination and now you have to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel agent and trusted the face-to-face advice you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel sites.
But how do you sift through the incredible options available? And more importantly, do you truly rely on the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently biased, sometimes out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the features that are necessary to the reviewer are necessary to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you check out, the more you observe how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have pleased visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels sometimes publish their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is truly important to you when picking a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that provides current, independent, neutral information that truly matters.

Here are a few of the key realities you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, near the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is critical. Any decent directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided along with some type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is essential to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or standard furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you understand of the options readily available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is great 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 or not they are smart or informal. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly carefully consider the type of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider important. 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 amenities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking cigarettes or non-smoking rooms, and so on

. These things truly do matter and any decent hotel directory site should offer you this sort of advice on bed rooms – not just the variety of rooms which is the usual choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family tourist than the business tourist. You should find out 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 leave children, this is of course very pertinent too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, gym, sauna – along with details of any other facilities close by 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 important to some.

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site evaluation team should have gone to the hotel in question regularly, met the staff, 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 truly in a strong position to write about the hotel.
with the above information, there is no reason why you should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
