Pleasant space with lots of things you didn't think you needed. Coffee and waffles downstairs. The service is top notch?.

Very good, the guys who collect are absolutely superb. Those who organize pick-up could have had a little better communication.

We were greeted by the lovely aroma of waffles when we entered. Very tidy premises which piqued our curiosity. Clear rooms that were signposted. Was looking for a round dining table, didn't find this this time. But took a waffle and coffee. Made me want to go straight home and clean, because the thought that what is just lying around taking up space at home can be useful for others. Did something to me. Worth a visit!

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.
