Visual feast !!! is just a part of entire impression. This place is delivering amazing experience as well as creating unforgetable memories. Get your senses ready … Telling too much may spoil a mysterious charakter of this „rabbit hole”. „Alice, You have to decide, whether to get in or not”.

Lovely hotel and lovely conference rooms! Each room in the castle has its own personality, and this is refreshing to experience! Animals all around and the perfect place to host an offsite! Lovely staff and food as well

Best experience ever! The hotel is one off a kind, the decor and design off every room is unique, where ever you look something new catches the eye. The restaurant and food was great both dinner and breakfast

Meal was Good but loads of salt flakes on most things which was a shame as otherwise would have been good food. Place really quirky but I felt the owners were forcing their ‘ cool dream’ on customers. Breakfast a choice of 6 things that were fatty and sugary mostly, bar melon. Lack of choice and my wife left hungry as she couldn’t eat anything but the melon. Beds comfy though which was good .

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
