Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this destination and now you need to select a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and trusted the face-to-face advice you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sift through the fantastic options available? And more notably, do you truly rely on the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be handy, but you need to exercise caution. They are typically prejudiced, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are important to the reviewer are important to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you observe how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. 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 shocked to learn that hotels often publish their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that offers updated, independent, unbiased information that truly matters.

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

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 decent 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 important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or conventional furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you know of the choices readily available.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is great 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 clever or informal. A great hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly carefully consider the type 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 cigarettes or non-smoking spaces, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family traveler than the business traveler. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. One thing worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business traveler wanting to leave children, this is obviously really pertinent too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, gym, sauna – as well as 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 definitely essential to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory inspection team should have checked out the hotel in question on a regular basis, met the staff, 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 truly in a strong position to blog about the hotel.
with the above details, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
