Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this destination and now you need to select a hotel. 10 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 using travel websites.
But how do you sift through the incredible choices on offer? And more importantly, do you really trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise caution. They are frequently prejudiced, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are necessary to the customer are necessary to you? Then there’s the issue of the customer’s inspiration. The more reviews you read, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have upset reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have thrilled visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to find out that hotels often post their own glowing reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is really crucial to you when picking a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that offers updated, independent, neutral information that truly matters.

Here are a few of the key realities you should remember: 

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 site should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided as well as some type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is essential to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or conventional furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory site should let you know of the alternatives readily available.

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 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 kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider crucial. 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 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 really do matter and any decent hotel directory site should give you this sort of advice on bed rooms – not just the number of rooms which is the typical choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the family tourist than the business tourist. You should discover just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. One thing worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business tourist wanting to escape children, this is obviously very relevant too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, health club, sauna – as well as 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is absolutely crucial to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site assessment team should have checked out 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 visitor can and it is only then that they are really 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. Good luck!
