Great fun with great local and international staff with a passion for travel. Local knowledge was awesome with some nice places to eat and drink pointed out to us on arrival and didn't disappoint. The bar attached to the hostel was a cool place to hang out at with lots of locals and a good vibe for all sorts.

Fantastic hostel located right in the centre of Tallinn. Great value for money. The standard of the rooms and facilities is great too. What made it though was the brilliant staff. They were really helpful and friendly and told us where was good to go. Would highly recommend!

My stay at the Red Emperor was excellent and when I ran into some trouble with money Craig and the staff were most helpful and I wouldn't have been able to continue my travels so easily without their help.

I think they were still building it when we were there in July, so should be great now! Hope so anyway. Had potential. Didn't really vibe it though at the time. It was average. Average average average.
