Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you need to choose a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and relied on 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 utilizing travel sites.
But how do you sort through the fantastic choices on offer? And more significantly, do you actually trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise caution. They are often biased, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the functions that are important to the reviewer are important to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you read, the more you discover how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have angry customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover 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 actually important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that offers current, independent, objective info that really matters.

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

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, close to the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is paramount. Any good 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 very important to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or standard furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect 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 vital part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether or not they are clever or informal. A good 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 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 amenities, views from the room and high-end 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 good hotel directory should give you this sort of advice on bedrooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the usual option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family tourist than the business tourist. You should discover 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 babysitter service. For the business tourist wanting to leave children, this is obviously really pertinent too – perhaps 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, health club, sauna – in addition to 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 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 regularly, met the staff, 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 very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
