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. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and relied on the face-to-face guidance you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by utilizing travel sites.
But how do you sift through the amazing options on offer? And more significantly, do you really trust the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise caution. They are typically prejudiced, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are necessary to the customer are necessary to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s inspiration. The more reviews you read, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have upset reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels often 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 really essential to you when picking a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory site that gives updated, independent, neutral info that truly matters.

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

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

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

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is great but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play an important part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether they are smart or casual. A great hotel report should tell you this, and especially 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 essential. 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 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 really do matter and any decent hotel directory site should offer you this sort of guidance on bed rooms – not just the variety of rooms which is the usual alternative!

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

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming 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 crucial to some.

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site evaluation team should have checked out the hotel in question on a regular basis, 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 really in a strong position to blog about the hotel.
with the above information, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
