Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this location and now you have to choose a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and trusted the in person guidance you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the amazing options available? And more importantly, do you really trust the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, but you need to exercise caution. They are typically biased, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the features that are very important to the reviewer are very important to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you check out, the more you see how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have upset reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have pleased visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to find out that hotels often post their own radiant 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 really important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory site that provides updated, independent, impartial information that really matters.

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

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, close to the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is vital. Any good directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport offered in addition to some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is important to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfy – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decoration or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you understand of the options available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is excellent 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 they are smart or informal. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider important. The hotel directory site 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 cigarette smoking or non-smoking rooms, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family traveler than the business traveler. You should find out just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. One thing worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business traveler wishing to leave children, this is of course extremely 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, 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 important to some.

Finally and most notably, the quality hotel directory site inspection team should have visited 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 really in a strong position to write about the hotel.
with the above details, there is no reason why you should not find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
