Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this destination and now you have to select a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and trusted the face-to-face recommendations 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 sites.
But how do you sift through the amazing options on offer? And more significantly, do you really rely on the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be useful, but you need to exercise caution. They are typically prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the functions that are very important to the customer are very important to you? Then there’s the issue of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you see 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 pleased guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels sometimes publish 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 really important to you when choosing a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that gives up-to-date, independent, neutral info that truly matters.

Here are some 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 vital. Any decent directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport provided in addition to some type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is very important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or conventional furnishings, local decor or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you understand of the alternatives readily available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is fantastic 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 wise or casual. A great hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the type of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider important. 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 features, views from the room and high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of cigarette smoking or non-smoking rooms, etc

. These things really do matter and any decent hotel directory site should offer you this sort of recommendations on bed rooms – not just the variety of rooms which is the usual option!

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

Finally and most notably, the quality hotel directory site assessment team should have visited 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 best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
