Mathias Schwender
Co-Owner
Former clown, theology student, nurse, unicyclist extraordinaire-turned-entrepreneur…this guy is chock-full of crazy ideas and has a knack for actually making them work. He hails from Germany, where he grew up on a goat farm. Mathias also owns well-known backpacker’s haven Sir Toby’s, boutique beauty Miss Sophie’s and is a partner of the new, eco-friendly Mosaic House.
Leigh Mercer
Reception Manager
He’s an antipodean (don’t worry, we had to look it up too)...and we all know that Aussies are the essence of cool. ‘nough said.
Okay, okay Leigh - maybe a bit more. He loves Liverpool FC, lived in London for several years (‘cause that’s what Aussies do, right?), LOVES Czech beer and Slivovice and can make perfect Czech goulash…pretty good for an Aussie, huh?!
Patrick Madara
Bar Manager
He enjoys reading Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks. He has visited 20 countries. He is, in fact, Slovak (contrary to most guesses).
Eva Kuchtová
Administration manager
She says Petřín is her favourite place in Prague. She won the Czech Inn bowling trophy. Have you ever dreamed of having an elephant drawing? Just ask her…she has a knack for drawing elephants.
Chris Syvertsen
Co-Owner
He’s a NY Yankees fan AND he can milk a cow. He’s also General Manager and Co-Owner of the new, eco-friendly Mosaic House. In his spare time (insert sarcastic tone here) and when the weather is nice, he enjoys riding his bike to work.
Klára Suchanková
Bartender
She’s fond of Damien Rice…and his music. Her random talent is finding other people’s random talents. She’s always discovering a new favourite book.
Nikola Purmanová
Bartender
She’s always smiling. We love that. Not only does Nikola pour a mean Czech pivo (that’s Czech for ‘beer’), she also enjoys teaching guests the right way to drink Absinthe shots. Just ask her.
Andrea Kawuloková
Bartender
Riegrovy Sady is her favourite beer garden in Prague. She likes to play darts. There’s no place like home…Andrea calls home her favourite place.
Maša
Cleaner
She’s another one of our fabulous cleaning staff who works really hard to whip this place into shape, and is the reason we’re consistently rated as one of the cleanest properties. But when she’s off, she loves to relax and go for walks or visit friends. On top of that, she’s a hiking enthusiast from Ukraine and has an adorable little boy too.
Ivoš Belohradský
Handyman
He claims he lives on a diet of meat and schnitzel and enjoys a glass of Turkish coffee every morning. He also owns a cow in Ukraine…that’s where he gets the milk for his Turkish coffee. ha.
Lauren Backenstose
Receptionist
She’s a Minneapolis gal. And a life-long swimmer. Radost is her favourite restaurant in Prague and she loves Reigrovy Sady beer garden. ‘Lo’ - as we call her - loves hanging out with the eclectic mix of guests at Czech Inn.
Ondra
Receptionist
He’s a night receptionist. Ondra lived in Mongolia for an extended period of time and loves travelling…and his TOMS shoes (which you can purchase at reception…not his shoes, but a new pair of shoes).
Luboš Goby
Bartender
He’s a bartender, who likes to listen to U2. His favourite subject in school was art. He says he has a knack for getting in trouble…but we don’t believe it (he’s too super-sweet!).
George Styblo
Receptionist
He likes to laugh. A lot. His favourite destinations are Holland and Israel. He enjoys working with the great staff and awesome guests of Czech Inn. Oh, and one more thing…he’d like to be the president when he grows up. We’re already creating our ‘George Styblo for President’ signs!
