Frommer's "The largest rooms are on the fourth floor. They are also the quietest, which can be an issue on this plaza at night." Full review
Time Out "The Persal's rooms don't quite live up to the first impressions given by the glass front and swish lobby, but thankfully they're modern, spotlessly clean and more than functional." Full review

Ask for a room facing the Plaza de Colón; otherwise, the view is rather dreary.
