Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you need to select a hotel. 10 years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and trusted the face-to-face advice you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sift through the fantastic options on offer? And more notably, do you really rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be useful, but you need to exercise care. They are often biased, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the functions 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 see how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have upset reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have happy visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to find out that hotels often post their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is really essential to you when choosing a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that offers updated, independent, neutral information that really matters.

Here are some of the key realities you should bear in mind: 

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

2. Style: it is essential to select a hotel that makes you feel comfy – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decor or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you know of the options available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is excellent but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play a fundamental part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether they are smart or casual. A good hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always carefully consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider essential. The hotel directory 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 high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking spaces, and so on

. These things really do matter and any good hotel directory should offer you this sort of advice on bedrooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the usual option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family traveler than business traveler. You should find out just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. Something worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For business traveler wanting to leave children, this is of course extremely relevant too – maybe 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, health club, sauna – along with details of any other facilities nearby such as golf courses.

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

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory assessment team should have gone to the hotel in question on a regular basis, met the staff, 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 blog about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
