Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you have to select a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and trusted the in person guidance 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 sites.
But how do you sort through the incredible options available? And more importantly, do you really rely on the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be useful, but you need to exercise care. They are typically biased, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the functions that are essential to the reviewer are essential to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you check out, the more you see how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to discover that hotels often publish their own radiant reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors 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 current, independent, neutral information that truly matters.

Here are some of the key realities you should remember: 

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

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

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is terrific 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 great hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the type 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 facilities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking spaces, etc

. These things really do matter and any decent hotel directory should provide you this sort of guidance on bedrooms – not just the number of spaces which is the usual alternative!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family traveler than the business traveler. You should find out 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 wishing to escape children, this is of course extremely pertinent too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a detailed analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, health club, sauna – as well as 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 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 details, there is no reason why you should not find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
