Beautiful place to stay for a few days. Clean rooms, quiet also if on the backside. Breakfast sober but good enough. Dinner no surprises.

Interesting concept, we were in the tower suite and it was a very large and clean room. The view was nice too. However for what you get, I feel it's too expensive. The breakfast was OK, cold meats, cheeses, yoghurt, fruits and muesli style cereal. The only cooked item was scrambled egg or a boiled egg. We also ate at the restaurant and the food was tasty and cooked well, but again nothing special. I could have gone to a local small restaurant and had similar for a cheaper price. All in all, it's nice but not something I would say is a must see.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Ĺ aloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
