Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this destination and now you need to pick a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and relied on the face-to-face suggestions 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 websites.
But how do you sort through the remarkable options on offer? And more importantly, do you actually trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, 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 They are frequently prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all.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 understand that the functions that are very important to the reviewer are very important to you? Then there’s the problem of the reviewer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you see how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have pleased visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to discover 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 actually essential to you when picking a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory that provides up-to-date, independent, objective information that truly matters.

Here are some of the key facts you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is paramount. Any decent directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport provided in addition to some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is necessary to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or traditional furnishings, local decor or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you understand of the options 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 they are clever or casual. A great hotel report should tell you this, and particularly 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 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 features, 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 actually do matter and any decent hotel directory should offer you this sort of suggestions on bed rooms – not just the number of rooms which is the typical choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital 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 babysitter service. For business tourist wanting to escape children, this is of course extremely appropriate 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, 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is absolutely important to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory inspection team should have checked out 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 visitor can and it is only then that they are actually 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!
