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. Ten years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel agent and trusted the face-to-face advice you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel websites.
But how do you sort through the fantastic choices on offer? And more importantly, do you really rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently prejudiced, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all.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 very important to the reviewer are very important to you? Then there’s the problem of the reviewer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you observe 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 happy guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to discover that hotels often post their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is really crucial to you when choosing a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that offers up-to-date, independent, impartial info that really matters.

Here are some of the key realities 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 paramount. Any good directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport offered in addition to some form of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is very important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfy – contemporary or standard furnishings, local decoration or international, official or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you know of the options offered.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is great 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 clever or informal. A good 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 crucial. 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 spaces, and so on

. These things really do matter and any good hotel directory should provide you this sort of advice on bed rooms – not just the number of spaces 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 and make your decision from there. Something worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business tourist wanting to leave children, this is of course really appropriate 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, swimming pool, gym, sauna – in addition to 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 again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely vital to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory assessment team should have checked out 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 guest can and it is only then that they are really in a strong position to blog about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
