Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this destination and now you need to choose a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and trusted the face-to-face advice you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sift through the amazing options available? And more notably, do you truly rely on the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be useful, but you need to exercise care. They are often biased, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the functions that are necessary to the customer are necessary to you? Then there’s the issue of the customer’s inspiration. The more reviews you check out, the more you see how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have upset customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to find out that hotels often post their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly essential to you when choosing a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that offers current, independent, unbiased info that really matters.

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

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is paramount. Any good directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport provided along with some type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is very important to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfy – contemporary or conventional furnishings, local decor or international, formal or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you understand of the choices 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 or not they are wise or informal. A great hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly carefully 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 facilities, views from the room and high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking cigarettes or non-smoking rooms, etc

. These things truly do matter and any good hotel directory should give you this sort of advice on bedrooms – not just the variety of rooms which is the usual option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the household tourist than the business tourist. You should discover just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. One thing worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business tourist wanting to leave children, this is obviously extremely relevant too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, fitness center, sauna – along with 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 important to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory assessment team should have gone to the hotel in question on a regular basis, met the staff, 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 truly in a strong position to write about 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!
