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 relied on the in person guidance you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel websites.
But how do you sift through the fantastic options available? And more notably, do you actually trust the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be handy, but you need to exercise care. They are often prejudiced, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the functions that are essential to the customer are essential to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s inspiration. The more reviews you read, the more you notice 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 happy visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels often publish their own radiant 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 actually essential to you when choosing a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory site that offers updated, independent, neutral information that really matters.

Here are some of the key realities you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, close to the amusement 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 important to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or traditional furnishings, local decoration or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory site should let you understand of the alternatives offered.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, 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 they are wise or casual. 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 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 spaces, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the household 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. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business tourist wanting to escape children, this is obviously extremely pertinent too – possibly 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 – as well as 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is absolutely vital to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory site evaluation team should have gone to 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 actually in a strong position to write about the hotel.
with the above details, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
