Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this location and now you need to select a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel agent and relied on the face-to-face advice you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel websites.
But how do you sort through the fantastic options available? And more notably, do you truly rely on the photographs 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 care. They are often prejudiced, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the functions that are essential to the reviewer are essential to you? Then there’s the problem of the reviewer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have happy visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to learn that hotels often post their own glowing reviews or that rival’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 picking a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that provides updated, independent, objective info that truly matters.

Here are some of the key realities you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, near 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 type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is essential to select a hotel that makes you feel comfy – modern or traditional furnishings, local decoration or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you know of the choices available.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is great 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 smart or informal. A good hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the type 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 smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the family tourist than the business tourist. You should find out 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 the business tourist wanting to escape children, this is obviously really relevant too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming 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 recommend the visitor of each hotel’s special needs services and accessibility policy. Whilst once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is absolutely important to some.

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory inspection team should have gone to 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 truly in a strong position to blog about 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!
