Rooms are old but clean and big with there own bathrooms and theres a bath. 19 out of 37 found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Helpful | Not Helpful Previous || || Next The follow are from the old review system Comment submitted by Corinna Peake (NZ) & Nina Moore (UK) [6-Aug-2002] [217.154.37.132] I have stayed here three different times with a friend on our way around New Zealand over the month of July, it is excellent EXCEPT on the our last night we stayed in room 8 or 9 (think it was 8, the one without the t.v.) and have been bitten by bed bugs "yuck" all over us. I had to go to the doctors once in NZ and again since I have returned to the UK and two weeks on still have the bites to prove it, it is summer here and I am stuck with long sleeves and long pants because they look so bad! Added by admin: I have worked at a few hostels around the country and all of them have had problems with bed bugs at one time or another. They are carried from place to place on peoples backpacks, sleeping bags etc. I am sure that Go Global have since dealt with the problem. Comment submitted by Gemma [22-Aug-2003] [217.158.132.129] Stayed here in June 03. Pretty good vibe to it. We were traveling with Kiwi experience and were told that all the hostels are pretty basic in Taupo and that Go Global was amoung the best. Stayed in a 4 bed room which had plenty of room and we had an ensuite bathroom. Don't forget to try out the round pool table in reception. If you are missing cues, try using the stools. Hours of fun!! Comment submitted by Carly [25-Mar-2004] [206.116.129.19] stayed Jan04 and we all hated the hostel. Kitchen was gross, room was nasty when went back through taupo didnt stay and would never stay again. Close Window
