Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this location and now you need to choose a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and trusted the in person guidance you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the remarkable choices on offer? And more significantly, do you truly trust the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise caution. They are frequently prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all.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 notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have upset reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to find out that hotels sometimes post their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is truly essential to you when picking a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that provides current, independent, unbiased info that truly matters.

Here are a few of the key realities 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 decent directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided in addition to some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is essential to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decor or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you know of the choices readily available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is terrific 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 carefully consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider essential. The hotel directory 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 smoking cigarettes or non-smoking spaces, etc

. These things truly do matter and any decent hotel directory should provide you this sort of guidance on bedrooms – not just the number of spaces which is the usual choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the family tourist than business tourist. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. One thing worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For business tourist wishing to escape children, this is of course extremely relevant too – maybe 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, 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 again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely vital to some.

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory assessment team should have visited the hotel in question regularly, met the staff, 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 blog about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
