Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this destination and now you need to select a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and trusted the in person advice you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel sites.
But how do you sift through the fantastic options on offer? And more importantly, do you truly rely on the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be handy, but you need to exercise care. They are typically biased, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are very important to the customer are very important to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have happy visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover that hotels often publish their own radiant reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly essential to you when choosing a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that gives up-to-date, independent, unbiased info that really matters.

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

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

2. Style: it is very important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfy – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you know of the alternatives available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, 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. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly thoroughly 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 facilities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of cigarette smoking or non-smoking spaces, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the family traveler than the business traveler. You should discover 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 wanting to leave children, this is of course extremely appropriate too – maybe a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, fitness center, sauna – along with details of any other facilities close by 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 important to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site inspection team should have visited 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 truly in a strong position to write about the hotel.
with the above details, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
