I went to Skagen two summers ago travelling with the Blue Lake Fine Arts Band (a camp located in MI, US) and it was so wonderful! I loved the view off the coast at the northern-most tip. All in all, I had a wonderful time and spending a summer there sounds like a great idea.
My daughter took my husband and me to Skagen in 2000 for a 2 day visit. It wasn't nearly enough time. She was an exchange student from Canada that year. Skagen was the first place she took us to. I can't get it out of my mind and I want to spend a summer there one year. The sooner the better. I LOVE SKAGEN. The museum is an absolute must see. I bought 4 prints. The artist colony from the turn of the last century was an amazing group of artists. My daughter is also planning on going back to Denmark one day.
HI - Aalborg Hostel - Danhostel Ålborg in Ålborg … Clean, quiet, but very far from town (it's about a 30 minute walk). If you're looking for a street of bars and only bars, this is the town for you.
HI - Frederikshavn Hostel in Frederikshavn … It was cheap, by Scandinavian standards. It's reasonably clean, has communal showers, and cheap prices (linen not included). It has an expensive breakfast, but it's a cheap stay in a big room.
HI - Aalborg Hostel - Danhostel Ålborg in Ålborg … I went there in May last year, and it was the worst hostel in Denmark I have been to. The room was ok, but the kitchen was a disaster, it was all greasy as not cleaned, and there was no plates, cups (i.e. all what is provided usually in a hostel). And without a car it can be quite far from the city center. If you don't plan to use the kitchen it can be great, otherwise...
