Living in Prague comes with plenty of perks – great cafes, walkable neighborhoods, a rich cultural life – but it often means making do with limited living space. Residents may find themselves without basements, attics, or extra closets, especially in the city’s older apartments. For many, that means ski gear ends up under the bed, Christmas decorations compete with coats in the hallway, and moving boxes live permanently in plain sight.
But increasingly, Prague locals are turning to a simple solution: self storage.
Why self storage is on the rise in Prague
The idea of renting a storage unit used to be associated with big moves or major life transitions. Today, more people are using storage to reclaim their homes and avoid the stress (and cost) of upsizing.
Whether renovating, downsizing, or just needing to make room for a home office, self storage offers flexibility without a long-term commitment. One Czech-Polish company, Less Mess Storage, has tapped into this need with four modern, easy-to-use facilities in Holešovice, Dejvice, and Pankrác.
The company offers rental terms for as short as 30 days, making units ideal for both short-term projects and long-haul living.
What to look for in a storage facility
Security, access, and size flexibility are top priorities when choosing a storage provider. With more than 40 unit sizes (from tiny 0.5 sqm lockers to 30 sqm spaces), round-the-clock access, and climate-controlled conditions, Less Mess Storage makes it possible to store anything from off-season clothes to inventory for a growing business.
Trolleys, lifts, and packaging materials are available on-site, and staff can even accept and send deliveries on your behalf – a perk many small business owners appreciate.
Extra storage: A small business’ secret weapon
Freelancers, e-shop owners, and entrepreneurs use storage to avoid working out of cluttered apartments. Instead of turning a living room into a packing station, they can rent flexible storage space with 24/7 access. Less Mess Storage even offers parcel services, which helps streamline the logistics side of running a business.
Getting started
Renting a unit from Less Mess Storage is surprisingly straightforward. Units can be reserved online, and the contract comes with a personal access code for secure entry. You can bring your own padlock or buy one on-site.
Need help choosing the right unit? Staff at each location can walk you through options based on what you’re storing, and you can always upgrade or downsize later if your needs change.
The rental process is designed to be easy and transparent. You can book a unit directly through the website or by visiting one of Prague's three Less Mess Storage locations. Choose between an indefinite or a fixed contract (though the average rental period is several months long, units can be rented for as little as 30 days). A 30-day notice period is required for cancellation.
Unsure how much space you’ll need? The Less Mess team can help you identify the unit size that best suits your needs. If your situation changes, you can move into a bigger or smaller unit later.
