This is an interesting hostel, a place that tries to be fun and almost succeeds. Finding it can be a tad confusing, but it's only about 10 minutes from the train station, and another 20 to the old town center. The owners are nice enough, though reception tends to close briefly at odd times. There is lots of info about the surrounding area available here, along with internet (1 computer). There is a common room and a bar which serves some food, but hardly anyone hangs out in these places until after midnight. Dinner and breakfast are available but expensive. A market across the street provides cheaper options.
Dorm rooms have decent bunks (8-10 beds), card access, and pay lockers outside the room. Bathrooms are mostly clean and single-sex. The hostel doesn't seem very close to the old town, but the walk is not bad and goes through some castle gardens. There is 24 hour access to the hostel, though the bar supposedly closes at 1am (if people are having fun though, you can talk the bartender into staying open later). Many trips are offered from here (go to the ice caves on your own though, it's cheaper and easy, despite what the reception might tell you). This place is nice enough and tries hard to have "atmosphere" but doesn't quite succeed.
