Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you have to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and relied on the in person advice you were provided 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 fantastic choices on offer? And more notably, do you actually trust 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 They are often biased, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the features that are essential to the customer are essential to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you see how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to find out that hotels often post their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is actually essential to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that gives current, independent, neutral info that really matters.

Here are some of the key realities you should keep in mind: 

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

2. Style: it is important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local decor or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you understand of the options offered.

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 informal. A good hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly carefully consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider essential. 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 luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking cigarettes or non-smoking spaces, and so on

. These things actually do matter and any good hotel directory site should provide you this sort of advice on bed rooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the usual alternative!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the household tourist than business tourist. You should find out 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 baby sitter service. For business tourist wanting to leave children, this is obviously really appropriate 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, pool, gym, sauna – in addition to details of any other facilities close by 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 absolutely essential to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site evaluation team should have checked out the hotel in question on a regular basis, 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 write about the hotel.
with the above information, there is no reason why you should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
