Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this location and now you have to choose a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have probably 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 pick and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the amazing options available? And more importantly, do you actually rely on the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be useful, but you need to exercise care. They are often biased, in some cases out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are very important to the customer are very 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 viewpoint. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have thrilled guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels in some cases publish their own glowing 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 actually crucial to you when selecting a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that gives up-to-date, independent, unbiased information that truly matters.

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

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

2. Style: it is very important to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or standard furnishings, local decoration or international, official or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you know of the alternatives offered.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is fantastic 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 or not they are clever or informal. A good 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 crucial. 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 luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking spaces, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the household tourist than the business tourist. You should learn 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 wanting to leave children, this is of course very appropriate too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, fitness center, sauna – in addition to details of any other facilities close by 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is absolutely crucial to some.

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory 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 visitor can and it is only then that they are actually 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. Good luck!
