Clean and tidy with all the essentials included. Very central location. Its a cheaper than some and so attracts a mix of cients. And its on the edge of the area where bands etc happen. Would be great option for backpackers and those wanting a compact place to sleep.

It was difficult to locate property at first, as it was located off a lane behind the street that was advertised. The room itself was basic only, similar to backpackers which was located next door. About $50 cheaper.

The location is easily the best of any hotel in the CBD but the accommodation is in need of modernisation. The doors are not sound proof, the rooms not cleaned to an even basic standard, and the mattress (room 28) is in dire need of replacement. But for the price, location, convenience and the pool it’s a good option for the budget travellers.

The front building of the DCH looked amazing, however, I was to stay in the "back" property. Cigarette smoke and stale alcohol smell filled the entire building, people were drunk and yelling. I felt very unsafe even entering the car park of the building. Had a bit of a panic attack so drove back around to the front building and let the reception know I couldn't stay there. They did offer me to stay in the front building, which looked lovely, however, I chose to move motels to one I knew.

Wotif address is incorrect, so I was dropped with 40kg of baggage a few hundred meters from the actual entrance. The place overall is good enough for the price if you need somewhere to rest your head, but my sheets weren’t clean, there were black spots and stains all over them and fake eyelashes literally everywhere, so I slept on my towels for the few hours I was there for before heading back to the airport.

The annex is not connected to the hotel. There s no reception desk nor any oversight, hence the annex is terribly noisy.?Constant shoutings, load music, banging doors. Not a very solidly built annex, you hear everything. Bed was substandard, room minute. I suppose the main DCH is far better? This booking was a real let-down. A shocker!

Thankfully we only stayed half a night as we had the midnight check in for our flight home. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating however our room was less than ordinary at best. Apart from a few cockroaches walking around, the blanket that was folded up on the shelf next to the bed smelled like it had never been washed……ever. We did however have front row seats to a couple of locals punching on in the street literally just below us. The music from the surrounding hospitality venues was LOUD. The rooms are tiny and the shower is an odd shape and if you’re on the larger side, good luck getting in and then out again. My partner and I are adamant that we will never ever stay there again.

I know this is a budget hotel but for $150 a night you’d at least expect the blanket in the room to be free from yellow and red (blood) stains? The bed was only made up with a sheet. The only blanket available covered in stains, gross. The pillows were flat and almost too small to fold in half. Shower had two body wash bottles and condition but no shampoo. Wouldn’t stay again

It is noisy but that is because of the area music and people calling out. You need to change where you say the place is for when we have to book in . It is NOT 50 Mitchell street but Smith street where reception is. I live in Katherine and when i went into Mitchell Street I was looking at the value in with that sign still on the wall. When I got out of my car there was a tiny a 4 sign on the gate saying DCH not good enough I had to go to my appointment and come back to keep searching for where to go to book in. Lucky I saw someone who told me where to go. I had phoned but was told they would ring me back because they were busy but know one did. Very frustrating. I ending up booking in at 9 that night as I had to go to appointments and change in the car!!!!

STRANGE ADDRESS - hard to find the place

It is advertised as DCH on Mitchell and address as 50 Mitchell street BUT it is really at 59 Smith Street - had trouble finding it till was given directions- reception is at 59 Smith Street then I had to walk along a corridor and across a street to another building and scan with my card to enter another building gate then again to open the door to get to lift then finally to my room first floor- the room was clean but basic good towels and face washers -shower was small and when I went to turn on the water the handle on one of the taps fell off on to the floor. The pool was very small and didn’t use it. Not too bad for one night for me but would not go there again
