Lovely place, decent rooms ( no a/c unfortunately), extremely good service at all fronts ( reception, restaurants, staff in general) and location is probably one of the best in denmark with beautiful parks. Highly recommend!

The hotel is clean, surrounded by beautiful nature. Nice service, Fantastic design! I booked a room with a mix style of the original old castle building and the new material inserted that going well and interesting. I like that the bathroom is separated between the toilet and the rain-shower??✨?‍♂️? The hotel amenities were quite complete and the needs: iron + ironing board, coffee maker, dryer, but if it's better, there should have slippers for walking inside the room, then we could feel relaxation and cleanliness because the hotel has a beautiful garden area to walk around,our shoes used were accompanied by dirt.??? We didn't have the opportunity to eat the hotel's food because the hotel organized an event.Moreover, in terms of breakfast, it is considered good. Especially, the cake (in pictured) is delicious.???

We visited as a dinner company of 13 people. I had a delicious and wellcomposed three-course vegan meal (not on their homepage, but no problem if you call in advance), and the diets of the other guests were also considered very well. Beautiful area, and very friendly staff. The prices are very reasonable considering what you get.

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.
