Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this destination and now you have to pick a hotel. 10 years back, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and trusted the in person advice you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel websites.
But how do you sort through the amazing options available? And more significantly, do you truly trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise caution. They are frequently prejudiced, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are essential to the reviewer are essential to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s motivation. 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 reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have happy guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to discover that hotels often publish their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly crucial to you when picking a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory site that gives updated, independent, unbiased information that truly matters.

Here are some 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 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 form of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is necessary to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or traditional furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory site should let you know of the alternatives readily available.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, 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 clever or informal. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and especially 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 crucial. 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 facilities, views from the room and luxury 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 offer you this sort of advice on bedrooms – not just the number of spaces which is the typical choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the household traveler than the business traveler. You should discover just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For the business traveler wanting to leave children, this is of course very relevant 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, 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 advise the visitor of each hotel’s special needs services and accessibility policy. Whilst again this does not apply to every visitor, it is absolutely vital to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site assessment team should have gone to 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 visitor 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. Best of luck!
