Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you have to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and trusted the in person advice you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the fantastic options on offer? And more importantly, do you actually trust the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise care. They are often prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the functions that are essential to the customer are essential to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, 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 happy guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to learn that hotels sometimes post their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is actually important to you when picking a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that gives updated, independent, unbiased information that really matters.

Here are a few of the key realities you should remember: 

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

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

3. Restaurants, Cafes, 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 particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly carefully 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 cigarettes or non-smoking spaces, and so on

. These things actually do matter and any decent hotel directory should give you this sort of advice on bed rooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the typical choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the household 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 searching for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business tourist wishing to escape children, this is obviously really pertinent too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a detailed analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, fitness center, 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 again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely essential to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory evaluation team should have visited 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 guest can and it is only then that they are actually in a strong position to discuss the hotel.
with the above details, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
