Aalborg
Formerly a Danhostel, this place is handy for boating activities on the fjord but it’s hardly central. The surrounds are green and the accommodation is basic (all rooms have bathrooms). It’s at the marina area about 3km west of the town centre; take bus 2 (which stops short of the hostel). Linen/breakfast costs 52/62kr; dorm beds are available in summer.
There’s an adjoining camping ground (adult/child/site 60/30/60kr) with budget cabins.
