The bargain price buys a room with no windows or television, no central heating, very little hot water, and a compulsory waking time of 7am.

Despite its minimalist charms, the frankly named Null Stern Hotel (No Star Hotel in German) is in the Swiss town of Sevelen, not far from the financial centre of Zurich.
Designed by conceptual artists, it was opened to the public earlier this summer as the ultimate in no frills luxury.

Welcome to the future.
