Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you have to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and relied on the face-to-face recommendations 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 websites.
But how do you sift through the incredible options available? And more notably, do you truly trust 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 They are often prejudiced, in some cases out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the functions that are important to the reviewer are important to you? Then there’s the problem of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you check out, 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 delighted visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to learn that hotels in some cases publish their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly crucial to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that provides current, independent, impartial info 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 example, near the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is vital. Any good directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport offered along with some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or standard furnishings, local design or international, official or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you know of the choices available.

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 clever or informal. A good hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always carefully consider the type of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider crucial. The hotel directory 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 cigarette smoking or non-smoking rooms, etc

. These things truly do matter and any good hotel directory should provide you this sort of recommendations on bedrooms – not just the variety of rooms which is the usual choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family traveler than the business traveler. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. One thing worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For the business traveler wanting to leave children, this is of course extremely pertinent too – possibly 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, swimming pool, fitness center, 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely important to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory inspection team should have visited 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 discuss the hotel.
with the above information, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
