Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this location and now you have to choose a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and trusted the face-to-face advice you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the amazing options on offer? And more significantly, do you actually trust the pictures 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 They are often biased, in some cases out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the functions that are very important to the reviewer are very important to you? Then there’s the issue 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 angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to learn that hotels in some cases publish their own radiant reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is actually essential to you when choosing a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that gives updated, independent, unbiased information that truly matters.

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

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near to the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is critical. Any good 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 form of an interactive map.

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

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is great 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 wise 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 essential. The hotel directory 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 smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

. These things actually do matter and any good hotel directory should offer you this sort of advice on bedrooms – not just the number of rooms which is the typical choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the household 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. One thing worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For the business traveler wanting to leave children, this is obviously really pertinent too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, fitness center, 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 vital to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory evaluation team should have visited the hotel in question regularly, met the personnel, 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 info, there is no reason why you should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
