Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this destination and now you need to select a hotel. 10 years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and relied on the face-to-face recommendations you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sift through the amazing options on offer? And more significantly, do you really trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently prejudiced, in some cases out of date, and may not serve your interests at all.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 motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you notice 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 happy guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to learn that hotels in some cases post their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is really important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that offers current, independent, neutral information that truly matters.

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

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

2. Style: it is important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decoration or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you understand of the options offered.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is excellent 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 especially 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 features, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking cigarettes or non-smoking spaces, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family 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 babysitter service. For the business tourist wishing to leave children, this is of course really relevant too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, fitness center, 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 absolutely crucial to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site evaluation team should have gone to 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 visitor can and it is only then that they are really in a strong position to write about the hotel.
with the above information, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
