BUG review
Pirates Backpackers is part of an old hotel that’s been partially renovated. From the outside, it’s eye-catching; the entrance is sleek and black and the attached bar/restaurant, Nero, is probably the most glamorous place in a decidedly un-posh town. The inside is a mixed bag, however. Some rooms seem like they’re straight out of a time capsule from 1964, with fuzzy chairs, garish bedspreads and wallpaper and ancient television sets. Carpeting throughout the backpacker wings is pretty psychedelic, too. Kitchen facilities are adequate, as is a TV lounge (although it also has the furry shag chairs). Wireless internet is also available (10c per Mb; Zenbu). A small outdoor courtyard is comfortable and new. All rooms have en suite bathrooms.
