HI - Kristiansand Hostel in Kristiansand Clean, friendly, and in a nice location directly on the water. It's easy and fast to reach by foot from the train station (a 10-minute walk). Definitely worth it!
Expensive Internet access (2 Norwegian krones per minute), but what is not expensive in Norway? :)
