Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this destination and now you need to select a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and trusted the face-to-face recommendations you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel websites.
But how do you sift through the fantastic choices available? And more notably, do you actually trust the pictures 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 They are frequently biased, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are necessary to the reviewer are necessary to you? Then there’s the problem of the reviewer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you discover 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 thrilled visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to find out that hotels often post their own glowing reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is actually important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that gives up-to-date, independent, unbiased information that really matters.

Here are some of the key realities you should remember: 

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

2. Style: it is very important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfy – contemporary or standard furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you know of the options 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 or not they are smart 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 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 smoking cigarettes or non-smoking rooms, etc

. These things actually do matter and any decent hotel directory site should provide you this sort of recommendations on bed rooms – not just the number of rooms which is the typical option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the household tourist than the business tourist. You should discover just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. Something worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business tourist wishing to escape children, this is obviously really relevant too – possibly 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, pool, gym, 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely vital to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site assessment team should have visited 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 actually in a strong position to blog about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
