    "I couldn't sleep," and "my room was too noisy," may be complaints hoteliers dread from guests, but for the Riklin brothers that is the entire point of their latest 'zero star hotel' art installation.

    The Swiss concept artists' hotel room is essentially a double bed on a platform, with two bedside tables and lamps. There are no walls, ceiling or doors to provide any privacy or shelter.

    They have set up their null stern suite - German for zero star - on a roadside next to a petrol station in the village of Saillon, in the southern Swiss canton of Valais.

    They have few bugs and critters there even in summer, so it's not as harebrained as it would look here. I'm pretty sure it's closed in the winter though, lol.

    When I was in Scouts, our main summer camp had slabs up on the top of a hill, while us poor boys made do on the ground for two weeks. The slab users were considered 'sissies' and we called them 'Hotel Boys', even had songs mocking them. My last year in we did get some cots, though; somebody's Dad got lucky at poker or something.
