Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this destination and now you need to pick a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and trusted the face-to-face guidance 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 sift through the fantastic choices on offer? And more significantly, do you actually trust the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the features that are very important to the reviewer are very important to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you read, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have upset customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have thrilled guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover that hotels sometimes post their own radiant 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 essential to you when choosing a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory site that gives up-to-date, independent, unbiased information that really matters.

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

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

2. Style: it is important to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfy – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decor or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you understand of the options available.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, 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 smart or casual. A good hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the type 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 facilities, views from the room and high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking rooms, etc

. These things actually do matter and any good hotel directory site should give you this sort of guidance on bedrooms – not just the variety 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 wanting to escape children, this is of course 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, fitness center, sauna – in addition to 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 absolutely important to some.

Finally and most notably, 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 details, there is no reason why you should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
