Thousands flood to book freezing zero star hotel which has no walls or ceiling

People are clambering over one another to stay in a hotel room which is stripped down as physically possible.

Swiss concept artists, the Riklin brothers, have created an “anti-idyllic” zero star hotel.

Guests will have access to a double bed with bedside tables, lamps, plugs and additional surfaces - and nothing else.

Food will also be provided along with plenty of beverages to swig under the open skies.

The suite stands on a stone platform with one wall… and no roof.

The open-air bed resides on a roadside near a petrol station in Saillon – a village in Valais, Switzerland.

The designers claim that the bizarre hotel was created to help people reflect “about the current world situation”.

Frank Riklin told Euronews : “Staying here is a statement about the need for urgent changes in society.”

While staying for a “half sleep” guests are asked to think about climate change, war and more.

Brother Patrick Riklin noted: "If we continue in the same direction we are today, there might be more anti-idyllic places than idyllic."

There are also three more zero star rooms available – in a vineyard and on a hillside.

When the bed is not being used, it is covered with an agricultural protection sheet. Matrasses and blankets are kept in a small shed near the bed.

For those who do fancy a bit more luxury, ten minutes away is a public toilet and washroom.

Those who wish to book the no-room rooms will get a butler - one of a number of local farmers who work with the brothers - who provides drinks and breakfast.

A stay will set you back around £278 and is only available from July 1 to September 18… presumably to avoid inclement weather.
