Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you have to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and trusted the in person guidance you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel websites.
But how do you sift through the fantastic choices on offer? And more notably, do you really trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be practical, but you need to exercise caution. They are often biased, in some cases out of date, and might not serve your interests at all.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 important to the customer are important to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you see how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have upset customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have pleased visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover that hotels in some cases post 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 really essential to you when picking a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that offers up-to-date, independent, objective 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 instance, close to 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 surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport offered as well as some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is necessary to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or traditional furnishings, local decoration or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you know of the alternatives 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 wise or casual. 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 essential. The hotel directory 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 smoking cigarettes or non-smoking spaces, and so on

. These things really do matter and any good hotel directory should offer you this sort of guidance on bed rooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the typical option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family tourist than business tourist. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. One thing worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For business tourist wishing to escape children, this is of course very pertinent too – maybe 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, 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 recommend the visitor of each hotel’s special needs services and accessibility policy. Whilst again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely essential to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory assessment team should have gone to the hotel in question regularly, 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 really 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. All the best!
