Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you need to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative 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 of course on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sift through the amazing options on offer? And more importantly, do you truly trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be practical, but you need to exercise care. They are typically prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the functions that are essential to the reviewer are essential to you? Then there’s the problem of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you read, 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 thrilled visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to learn that hotels sometimes 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 truly important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that gives updated, independent, impartial info that truly matters.

Here are a few of the key facts you should keep 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 decent directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport offered as well as some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is necessary to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decor or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you understand of the alternatives available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is terrific 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 clever or casual. A good hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly 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 features, 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 truly do matter and any decent hotel directory should give you this sort of suggestions on bed rooms – not just the number of spaces which is the typical option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the family traveler than the business traveler. 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 baby sitter service. For the business traveler wishing to escape children, this is of course very relevant too – maybe 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, pool, gym, sauna – as well as details of any other facilities close by 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 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 truly 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. Good luck!
