Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this destination and now you need to pick a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel agent and relied on the in person recommendations you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sift through the incredible choices available? And more importantly, do you truly trust the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise care. They are typically prejudiced, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the functions that are important to the customer are important to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you discover 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 thrilled visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to learn that hotels often post their own glowing 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 crucial to you when selecting a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory site that offers 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 instance, close to the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is paramount. Any decent directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided as well as some form of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is very important to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or conventional furnishings, local design or international, official or relaxed. The perfect 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 a vital part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether they are wise or casual. A good hotel report should tell you this, and particularly 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 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 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 decent hotel directory site should offer you this sort of recommendations on bedrooms – not just the number of spaces which is the typical option!

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 site and make your decision from there. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For business tourist wishing to leave children, this is obviously very appropriate too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a detailed analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, gym, sauna – as well as 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 again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely important to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory site inspection team should have visited 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 shouldn’t find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
