Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you need to pick a hotel. 10 years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and trusted the face-to-face 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 amazing choices available? And more importantly, do you actually rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, but you need to exercise care. They are often biased, sometimes out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are very important to the reviewer are very important to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you observe 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 pleased visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to learn that hotels sometimes publish their own radiant reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is actually important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory site that offers up-to-date, independent, unbiased info that truly matters.

Here are a few of the key realities 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 site should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport offered in addition to some form of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is necessary to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or conventional furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory site should let you know of the options readily available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is fantastic 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 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 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 luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking spaces, and so on

. These things actually do matter and any good hotel directory site should offer you this sort of guidance on bedrooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the usual choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family traveler than business traveler. You should learn 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 baby sitter service. For 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!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, health club, sauna – in addition to 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 absolutely crucial to some.

Finally and most notably, the quality hotel directory site assessment team should have checked out 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 actually in a strong position to discuss the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
