My friend and I stayed here between tours as pre-dorm accommodation, and found it was quite lively and fun. The hostel generates a positive atmosphere and is very well laid out. It would be hard to find rooms that are larger elsewhere, for there is plenty of room and even baskets to store your backpack, which slide under the bed. The small bathroom is ok for a quick shower and was very clean when I arrived. The hostel offers free breakfast (bread and cereal), and there are washing machines and dryers downstairs.
Whichever you look at it, if your on a budget and want to stay in a quality hostel then you don't really need to look elsewhere. The walk into town is a brisk 5-10 minute, and there is also a subway restaurant across the road. Tell them your staying at the Haven and they will give you a discount!
This hostel is close to the cultural princinct where you will find the aviation museum, art gallery, The museum of the NT, and the cemetry.

I stayed here for 2 nights as part of a tour I was on. As hostels go its not too bad, the 6-bed dorm was fairly spacious compared to other hostels i've stayed in (which means there is room for your bags) & for the most part clean. The ensuite bathroom was fairly clean but you would think they could at least provide a bar of soap for hand washing afterall it would cost less than 30 cents!!!

The reception staff were very friendly & helpful & even lent me a free towel. There are a few washing machines & dryers in the laundry room but make sure you get your laundry done before 8pm because the room gets locked up overnight.

I only could give 2 stars to the Haven as both nights I stayed I was stuck in rooms near the kitchen/communal area which is generally noisy until about 2am (not good when you have to get up at 5am) so bring your earplugs. If you are put in a room number over say 21 then you should be alright.

The premises is gated overnight...
