Any examples of startups working on self check-in? I haven't seen any.

Keynest: get the key from a shop.

Keycafe:get the key from a self service box in a shop.

Keesy: get the key from a machine.

Vikey: keyless. Enter with a code.

And many many more.

At Host London exhibition there were at least ten new ones.

isn't this solved "well enough" with a code-lock holding a key? I've used it a few times and while it's low tech it seems pretty effective and costs about zero.
That's one of the best solutions when possible. Low tech, low cost, high usability.

Unfortunately in many cities, particularly in Europe, you are not allowed to stick a lock on the wall of the building.
