Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this destination and now you need to choose a hotel. 10 years back, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and relied on the in person guidance you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by utilizing travel sites.
But how do you sort through the fantastic choices on offer? And more notably, do you truly trust the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be handy, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently biased, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all.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 problem of the reviewer’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 guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to learn that hotels often publish their own radiant 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, impartial information that truly matters.

Here are a few of the key facts you should bear in mind: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is critical. Any good directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport offered along with some type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is essential to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or traditional furnishings, local design or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you know of the options available.

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 great hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always carefully 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 high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of cigarette smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the household tourist than the 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 the business tourist wishing to escape children, this is obviously extremely relevant too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a detailed analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, fitness center, sauna – along with details of any other facilities close by 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 essential to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory assessment team should have gone to 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 details, there is no reason why you should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
