Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this location and now you need to choose a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel agent and trusted the face-to-face advice you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel websites.
But how do you sift through the amazing options 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 useful, but you need to exercise caution. They are frequently prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the functions that are important to the customer are important to you? Then there’s the issue of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you observe how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have pleased visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover that hotels sometimes post their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is actually important to you when picking a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that gives up-to-date, independent, neutral info that truly 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 to the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is paramount. Any good directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided in addition to some form of an interactive map.

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

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is excellent 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 they are smart or informal. A great hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly carefully consider the type of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider important. The hotel directory 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 smoking cigarettes or non-smoking spaces, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the household tourist than the business tourist. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business tourist wanting to escape children, this is of course very pertinent too – maybe 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 again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely vital to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory inspection team should have gone to the hotel in question on a regular basis, met the personnel, 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 actually in a strong position to discuss 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!
