Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you have to choose a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and relied on the face-to-face recommendations 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 sift through the incredible options available? And more significantly, do you truly trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise caution. They are typically prejudiced, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are necessary to the reviewer are necessary to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. 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 shocked to find out that hotels often post their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is truly essential to you when choosing a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that gives current, independent, neutral information that really matters.

Here are some of the key realities you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near 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 surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport offered in addition to some type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is very important to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfy – modern or conventional furnishings, local design or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you know of the alternatives readily 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 wise or casual. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and particularly 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 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 facilities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the household tourist than business tourist. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For business tourist wishing to escape children, this is of course extremely appropriate too – maybe a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, gym, 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 crucial to some.

Finally and most notably, the quality hotel directory inspection team should have visited 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. All the best!
