Of course, the Hlavní nádraží WC, the Old Town Square WC, the Wenceslas Square WC and the WC in the metro came next for evaluation.

Based on the survey, Helsinki, Finland, was ranked first in terms of the level of public toilets. Their cleanliness and comfort reached 4.85 out of 5 possible points. The term dirty or its synonym appeared in only approximately three percent of the analyzed reviews. So an excellent result.

On the contrary, Berlin failed completely in the survey. The cleanliness and comfort score reached only 0.16 out of 5 possible points. The term dirty or its synonym appeared in almost every tenth review. London (0.32 points) or Athens (0.63 points) did not fare much better.

What about Prague? According to a survey created on the basis of reviews, it ended up in the sixth worst place with a purity score of 1.25 points out of a possible 5. So, overall, the 6th worst place among the surveyed cities.

It is worth adding to this type of surveys that they can be distorted in some way. While some of the public toilets may be completely fine, in other cases it may be a complete failure, perhaps just because of previous visitors and a not very active toilet administrator. It also depends on the composition of the respondents and their idea of ​​the level of a public toilet.

The topic of Prague’s public toilets was also addressed some time ago by Veronika Cézová, a reporter for the Pražské deník.

“Heavy smelling toilets and toilets that were closed earlier than they should have been. These are the two most common mistakes I came across during the “tour de toilette” reportage. I went around the toilets in all metro stations on lines A, B and C. And the result? The toilets on the “A” are luxurious, but the Stodůlka and Invalidovna on the “B” should be avoided if it is not acute,” she told her reporting.

The entire survey was conducted as part of World Toilet Day, which falls on November 19. Her organization announced WTO (World Toilet Organization), which aims to improve hygienic conditions in the world through political, technological, economic and educational means. At least the internet encyclopedia says so cs.wikipedia.org.
