Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you need to select a hotel. 10 years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and trusted the in person recommendations you were provided 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 sift through the fantastic choices on offer? And more importantly, do you truly trust the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be useful, but you need to exercise caution. They are often biased, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the features that are important to the reviewer are important to you? Then there’s the problem of the reviewer’s inspiration. 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 reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have happy visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to find out that hotels sometimes 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 important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that provides up-to-date, independent, objective info that really matters.

Here are a few of the key realities you should bear in mind: 

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

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is excellent 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 thoroughly 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 high-end 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 decent hotel directory site should offer you this sort of recommendations on bedrooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the usual option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the household traveler than the business traveler. You should find out 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 babysitter service. For the business traveler wishing to leave children, this is of course really appropriate 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, 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.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site inspection team should have checked out 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 discuss 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!
