BUG Review
Go Global is located right above an enormous Irish pub, Finn MacCuhal’s, on Taupo’s main nightlife street. Years ago it was a hotel, and traces like old radiators in the rooms and tile bathrooms are still evident. It’s a pretty basic place and could be better-maintained. One nice touch is an absolutely enormous outdoor deck that looks over the town park and a little slice of the river.

It's been a year ago that I stayed there for one night. I had heard before that Taupo Central Backpackers was just terrible, so I went to the other very central one in Taupo. I remember a friendly atmosphere, a great location... Just a good place to stay!
