Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you have to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and trusted the face-to-face guidance you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select 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 notably, do you really trust the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently biased, in some cases out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the features that are important to the customer are important to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s inspiration. 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 angry customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be amazed to learn that hotels in some cases post their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is really essential to you when choosing a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that gives up-to-date, independent, neutral information that really matters.

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

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

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is fantastic but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play a fundamental part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether or not they are clever or casual. A great 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 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 amenities, 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 really do matter and any decent hotel directory site should offer you this sort of guidance on bed rooms – not just the number of spaces which is the usual alternative!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family tourist than business tourist. You should learn 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 escape children, this is obviously very pertinent too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, health club, 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 definitely important to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site evaluation 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 guest can and it is only then that they are really in a strong position to write about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you should not find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
