Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you have to pick a hotel. 10 years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel agent and trusted the in person guidance you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel websites.
But how do you sift through the remarkable choices available? And more notably, do you actually rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be handy, but you need to exercise care. They are typically biased, sometimes out of date, and might not serve your interests at all.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 problem of the customer’s inspiration. The more reviews you read, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. 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 surprised to find out 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 actually important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory site that offers current, independent, objective info that really matters.

Here are a few of the key realities you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, close to the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is vital. Any decent directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport offered as well as some form of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is very important to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or conventional furnishings, local design or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you know of the alternatives readily available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is terrific 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 they are smart or informal. A great 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 facilities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of cigarette smoking or non-smoking spaces, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family traveler than the business traveler. You should discover just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For the business traveler wanting to leave children, this is obviously extremely pertinent 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, 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 definitely important to some.

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site 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 write about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
