world’s first zero-star hotel — based in a converted NUCLEAR BUNKER
BEDS are on offer for just $6 a night at the world’s first zero-star hotel — based in a converted NUCLEAR BUNKER.
But guests at the no-frills establishment will have to put up with hot water bottles rather than central heating.
And they will be given a pair of EARPLUGS to help blot out the racket
from the ventilation system.
Standard beds at the austere Null Stern (No Star) hotel in Sevelen, near Zurich, Switzerland, are military-style bunks.
Eleven pounds extra buys a "luxury" room, with "antique" beds from a condemned hotel.
Complimentary slippers are provided for walking across the icy concrete floors — while customers enter a draw to decide who gets the luxury of a hot morning shower.
And with no windows, the only view of the outside world is via a row of monitors in reception. The bed-and-no-breakfast hotel began life as an art project by twins Frank and Patrik Riklin.
They turned it into a full-time business when interest grew, and plan to welcome their first guests early in the new year.
They could convert 11 more bunkers if the first proves a success.
Patrik, 34, said: �Switzerland has lots more civil defence buildings. We’ve had inquires from all over the world.�
