Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this location and now you need to choose a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and relied on the in person advice 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 using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the fantastic options on offer? And more importantly, do you actually rely on the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be handy, but you need to exercise caution. They are often prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know 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 read, the more you see 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 delighted guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to learn that hotels sometimes publish their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is actually important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that offers updated, independent, impartial information that really matters.

Here are some of the key facts you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near to 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 as well as some type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is necessary to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decoration or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you know of the choices available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is great 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 or not they are clever or informal. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly thoroughly consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider important. 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 high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the household tourist than the business tourist. You should discover 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 babysitter service. For the business tourist wishing to escape children, this is of course extremely appropriate too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

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 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 notably, the quality hotel directory assessment team should have gone to the hotel in question on a regular basis, 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 actually 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!
