Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you need to choose a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and relied on the in person guidance you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the remarkable choices available? And more notably, do you truly trust the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, but you need to exercise care. They are typically prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are essential to the customer are essential to you? Then there’s the issue 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 pleased visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to learn that hotels sometimes publish 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 truly essential to you when selecting a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that offers current, independent, neutral information that really matters.

Here are a few of the key facts you should bear in mind: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, near the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is vital. Any decent directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport offered along with some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is essential to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or conventional furnishings, local decoration or international, official or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you know of the options readily available.

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 clever or informal. A great hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly thoroughly consider the kind 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 amenities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking cigarettes or non-smoking rooms, and so on

. These things truly do matter and any decent hotel directory should offer you this sort of guidance on bedrooms – not just the number of rooms which is the usual choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the household traveler than business traveler. You should find out 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 business traveler wishing to escape children, this is obviously very pertinent too – possibly 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, health club, sauna – along with 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 definitely vital to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory evaluation team should have checked out 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 guest can and it is only then that they are truly in a strong position to discuss the hotel.
with the above information, there is no reason why you should not find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
