Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you need to pick a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and trusted the in person recommendations you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel websites.
But how do you sift through the remarkable choices on offer? And more notably, 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 valuable, but you need to exercise care. They are typically biased, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are essential to the reviewer are essential to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s inspiration. 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 happy visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover that hotels sometimes publish their own glowing reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly important to you when picking a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory site that provides updated, independent, objective info that really matters.

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

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 decent directory site 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 very important to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfy – modern or traditional furnishings, local design or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you know of the options offered.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is fantastic 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 smart or casual. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly 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 facilities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking cigarettes or non-smoking rooms, and so on

. These things truly do matter and any decent hotel directory site should give you this sort of recommendations on bedrooms – not just the number of rooms which is the usual option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the family traveler than business traveler. You should discover just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. One thing worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For business traveler wishing to escape children, this is obviously really pertinent too – perhaps 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, 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 definitely important to some.

Finally and most notably, the quality hotel directory site inspection team should have checked out 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 visitor 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 should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
