Uppsala is a very small town, but it's quite beautiful. However, I was there for work, so I didn't see much. The hostel is in a very central area, relatively close to the train station, although it'll feel longer depending on the size of your suitcase. The only fault really was the fact that my room was really warm and I couldn't find a way to fix it and the window didn't open. Two of the showers were in the Eastern European style, so you had to hold them, which I find uncomfortable.
