Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this destination and now you need to pick a hotel. 10 years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and trusted the in person guidance you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel websites.
But how do you sift through the amazing choices available? And more importantly, do you really rely on the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be practical, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the functions that are very important to the customer are very important to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you discover 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 pleased guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels sometimes 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 really important to you when choosing a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory site that gives up-to-date, independent, neutral info that truly matters.

Here are a few of the key realities you should keep in mind: 

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

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

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is excellent but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play a vital part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether they are clever or casual. A good hotel report should tell you this, and especially 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 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 amenities, 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 guidance on bed rooms – not just the number of spaces which is the typical option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family traveler than business traveler. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. One thing worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For business traveler wanting to leave children, this is of course extremely relevant too – possibly 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, 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 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 visited the hotel in question regularly, met the personnel, 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 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!
