Who are we?
Twenty five years ago a man named Mathias Schwender (Who is our founder BTW) saw the need to open a place called ‘Sir Toby’s’. Sir Toby’s started small with 10 beds and a very passionate owner with a large collection of antiques (and nowhere to house them) whose vision was to bring together travellers from all walks of life under one roof – where they could interact, laugh, and share experiences freely.
Message from Mathias
“ I cannot believe it is now more than 25 years since the British boys came to stay as my first guests at Sir Toby’s. But when I look back, I am mainly thankful for the organic growth we went through, being able to live through difficult times and various crises we had that made us stronger “

BOHO CO
BOHO CO was started in 1999 by Mathias Schwender, an enterprising theology student with a juggling act and a yen for antique furniture and old buildings. With ten beds and no guests, Mathias went looking for potential guests at Prague’s main station. Four British guys came to stay and today Sir Toby’s is legendary amongst Prague’s hostels.
Over the years BOHO CO has grown into a dynamic upmarket accommodation provider in Prague and Olomouc (Czech Republic) and Accra (Ghana), offering both independent travelers and groups a wide selection of choices from shared hostel rooms to boutique hotel rooms and tastefully appointed apartments.
Our main goal is to “make a difference near and far” which is also why we are working on a sanitation project in Ghana, as well as making sure all of our guests are individually attended to and experience a sense of delight and community.
