 | I check in the hotel with my brother who flew all the way from Detroit to visit me and I wanted to impress him, with a good tour. I was very disappointed in the hotel.
The room was very small, the bathroom had no shower curtain, and the water coming from the shower head was very weak, the toilet wouldn't flush properly, there where no windows to look out of, the walls were very thin so you could here others talking. I called the front desk to open line for me to make a local call, they never did.
Before arriving I called and asked if there was internet in the room, the lady told me yes, If I bring my computer "laptop" she will just give me the cable and I can connect, but when we got to the hotel we found out there is no internet in the room, the business center only has 2 computers, and neither of them has Yahoo Messenger download on them.
There were no more available power receptacles to run other electronic devices without unplugging the TV or Fridge. There is only one elevator and you could probably walk up to the 8th floor before the elevator gets there.
The restuarant for breakfast was not satisfying, we ordered bacon with our breakfast, they take one strip of bacon cut it in half and give it to you. We couldn't believe it.
And to top it off, when we checked out they charged us for 1 bottle of drinking water and for shampoo we used..can you believe it, charge you for shampoo...we have travelled all over the world, and have never never experience a hotel charging you for water or shampoo.
Also there were no available taxis at the hotel..there are a couple of taxis sitting in front of the hotel but no drivers. Also when I called the lady told me the hotel was on, a major street but it is actually like in a alley. So we were deceived by the hotel staff.
Also we went to the tea place and they charged us what I now found out was way to much, we got ripped off.
So it was a terrible stay, about the only good thing was the private car and the Great Wall. But other than that, no we did not like it.

| We stayed for 5 nights.. The service was excellent, except for the room cleaning.. Our coffee cups, tea cups, coffe machine were never washed.. The rest was done quickly we assumed. I did'nt like the concept of the shower beside the toilet sit without any curtain or door. Everything was wet after a shower.
It was although a good price for the value.. We were close to wanfujing street and not too far from Forbiden city, Tiamen square and some market..
It is important to insist in the choice of your room... We had a room with window and antiques furnitures, but the 2 rooms that were offered to us in the beginning did'nt have window.. Some rooms are also situate in the middle of the corridor.. So, people can hear and see through the room.
Rate: 31/2 starts

| The room of the Golden Palace Silver Street Hotel is a bit small and the facilities in the room are quite old but good value for the money. The location is very quiet though close to the busy Wang Fu Jing Street and is close to food stores. Friendly and helpful staff. Internet connection is RMB 20 per day.

| I stayed there for one night in April 2007. The location is great and the staff very friendly.
However, the room I was given was very smelly and I asked to be changed. I also was in the sub-basement
and it was very noisy above (chairs moving, etc.,). I would consider staying there again, however, would ensure
that I requested non-smoking room and that it be away from any public areas.

| The hotel is located in a small alley close to Wangfujing Shopping Street. In the review they said : \"Newly opened in 2004! \" That was the reason of our choice , but it was a little disappointing to me... In the bathroom there is no shower curtain , so all the time everything got wet...
There is no wireless internet in the hotel , only 2 computers in a room called \"business center\".
The receptionists speak only a few words in English..
Yeah , that is true that the location is fine , close to the main things , but that is the only positive experience of this hotel....

| If you do not need the staff for anything, the hotel has a good location in central Beijing, 100 meters from Wangfujing. The rooms look decent, and the price is good.
However, for the staff, although some of them are helpful (piccolos are good), a fair portion of them are absolutely hopeless (even if they speak some English). They lost the room key we left in the reception, and did not want to give us a new one (and wanted to charge us for it). Breakfast in the \"western style\" place is a cumbersome process with incredibly inefficient personell. Waited 45 minutes for my ham and cheese omelet, got scrambled eggs with sausage. Had to ask 4 times for my coffee, 5 for my juice. Don\'t use their services, and this is a decent hotel. (There is a good breakfast place in Wangfujing)
Internet use is 20RMB per night, bandwidth is decent.

| As stated previously, top location but not easy to find. Very friendly staff. All the typical amenities as in other good chinese hotels. I had a discount room on the lower floor and there was some noise from the plumbing, but i didn't have time to be bothered by this. If this matters to you, try to avoid A026, which is at one end of the hallway.
Besides that I would stay there again any time.

| nice stay!
I confirm the optimal position on the map (although not very easy to find..) if you want to be quickly on wangfujing shopping street or even to the tienanmen square. Clean and big-enough rooms in a quite new building.

| The location is very convenience as it is only a few minutes walk from WangFuJing. As this hotel with extension wing (called "VIP Building"), it is quite new and the room we stayed in was very clean with all the basic amenities. Overall, the staff were friendly and helpful.

| Given the price, the room we stayed in was excellent: very clean, spacious, and with all the basic amenities. Like others have said, there is no shower curtain, but the bathroom is so big this really isn't much of a problem. The staff are helpful, and the location is great.
