Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this location and now you need to select a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and relied on the in person suggestions you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sift through the incredible options available? And more notably, do you really trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be practical, 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 They are frequently prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all.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 know 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 read, the more you discover how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have upset customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have happy visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to find out that hotels sometimes publish their own radiant reviews or that rival’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 choosing a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that offers updated, independent, objective information that really matters.

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

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

2. Style: it is essential to select a hotel that makes you feel comfy – modern or conventional furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you know of the alternatives offered.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is terrific 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 wise or casual. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always carefully consider the kind 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 smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

. These things really do matter and any decent hotel directory should provide you this sort of suggestions on bed rooms – not just the number of rooms which is the usual choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family tourist than the business tourist. You should find out 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 wanting to leave children, this is obviously extremely appropriate too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming 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 essential to some.

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory inspection team should have visited the hotel in question regularly, 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 should not find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
