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. Ten years back, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and relied on the face-to-face 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 using travel websites.
But how do you sift through the incredible choices 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 bookings?
Traveler reviews can be practical, 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 They are typically prejudiced, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all.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 functions 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 see 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 delighted guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to find out that hotels often post their own glowing 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 crucial to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that offers current, independent, objective 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 example, close to the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is vital. Any good directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport provided in addition to some form of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is essential to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decor or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site 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 a vital part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether or not they are clever or casual. A great hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly thoroughly consider the type of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider crucial. 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 amenities, views from the room and high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of 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 bed rooms – not just the number of spaces which is the usual alternative!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the household traveler than business traveler. You should learn 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 baby sitter service. For business traveler wishing to leave children, this is of course very 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, pool, health club, 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely essential to some.

Finally and most notably, the quality hotel directory site assessment 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 discuss the hotel.
with the above information, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
