Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this location and now you need to choose a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and trusted 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 utilizing travel websites.
But how do you sift through the incredible options on offer? And more importantly, do you truly rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be useful, but you need to exercise care. They are often biased, in some cases out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the features that are important to the customer are important to you? Then there’s the issue of the customer’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 angry 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 competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly essential to you when selecting a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory site that provides up-to-date, independent, objective 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 good directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport offered as well as some form of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is essential to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decoration 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 a fundamental 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 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 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 high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of cigarette smoking or non-smoking spaces, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family tourist than business tourist. You should discover just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For business tourist wishing to leave children, this is of course very appropriate too – maybe a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, gym, 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 important to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site evaluation team should have checked out 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 details, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
