Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you need to pick a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and relied on the in person guidance you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by utilizing travel websites.
But how do you sift through the incredible options on offer? And more significantly, do you truly rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be practical, but you need to exercise caution. They are frequently prejudiced, in some cases out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are very important to the customer are very important to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you observe 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 delighted guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels in some cases post their own radiant reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly important to you when choosing a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory site that offers up-to-date, independent, impartial information that truly matters.

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

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is critical. Any decent 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 type of an interactive map.

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

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is excellent 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 or not they are wise or casual. A great hotel report should tell you this, and especially 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 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 spaces, etc

. These things truly do matter and any decent hotel directory site should give you this sort of guidance on bed rooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the usual alternative!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the family traveler than business traveler. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. One thing worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For business traveler wishing to escape children, this is obviously very appropriate too – maybe a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better!

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

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site 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 truly in a strong position to discuss 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!
