Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this location and now you have to pick a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and trusted the in person 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 sort through the incredible choices available? And more importantly, do you truly trust the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be practical, but you need to exercise care. They are often biased, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are important to the reviewer are important to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you read, the more you discover how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have angry customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to discover that hotels often publish their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly important to you when choosing a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory that provides current, independent, neutral info that truly matters.

Here are some of the key facts you should bear in mind: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, close to the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is vital. Any good directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided along with some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is important to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or standard furnishings, local decoration or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you know of the alternatives readily available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is excellent 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 wise or casual. A great hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly carefully consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider important. 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 cigarette smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family tourist than business tourist. You should discover just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. One thing worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For business tourist wanting to leave children, this is of course really relevant too – maybe a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a detailed analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, 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 definitely essential to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory evaluation 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 truly in a strong position to discuss the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you should not find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
