Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this location and now you have to choose a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and relied on the in person advice you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel websites.
But how do you sort through the amazing options available? And more significantly, do you truly trust the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise caution. They are often prejudiced, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the features that are essential to the customer are essential to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s inspiration. The more reviews you check out, 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 happy visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover that hotels often post their own glowing reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is truly essential to you when picking a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory site that provides updated, independent, neutral info that truly matters.

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

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, near to the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is critical. 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 important to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or standard furnishings, local design or international, official or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory site should let you understand of the choices offered.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is terrific 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 informal. A great hotel report should tell you this, and particularly 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 essential. 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 features, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking spaces, and so on

. These things truly do matter and any good hotel directory site should provide you this sort of advice on bedrooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the typical option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the household traveler than business traveler. You should learn 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 business traveler wishing to escape children, this is of course extremely relevant too – maybe a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, gym, 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is absolutely important to some.

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site inspection 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 visitor can and it is only then that they are truly in a strong position to blog about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
