After an exhausting day of travel, you brush your teeth and sink into the clean sheets of a hotel room bed. Everything is perfect, and you’re about to doze off.

The only problem? Dozens of people are watching you sleep.

It’s an experience you can get for free at Paradiso Ibiza art hotel called the Zero Suite.

The Zero Suite is smack-dab in the middle of the hotel lobby and is made entirely out of glass. While it’s free to book for one night, visitors will pay with their privacy. Everyone who steps foot in the hotel will have a front-row seat to the Zero Suite.

TikTok couple Margaret and Corey, who run @aprettycoolhoteltour, gave their viewers a firsthand look at their stay in the Zero Suite. It’s gotten over 7 million views.

“I thought you were sleeping in Ikea,” one person joked on the couple’s video of waking up in the suite to workers cleaning the lobby in the morning.

The Zero Suite is “not for the faint of heart,” the hotel said on its website. Visitors, art performers, radio broadcasters, DJs and other entertainers are able to rent out the suite to use for their artistic endeavors, according to the hotel.

“The possibilities are endless as long as you like being the center of attention,” the hotel said.

After the couple stayed, Corey said they didn’t sleep much at all, and the experience was overall “horrible,” according to their TikTok.

According to Margaret, the room came with no rules or code of conduct.

“I feel like this would cause trauma to the concierge,” another viewer joked.

Based on Margaret and Corey’s videos, it appears that the only private crevice of the Zero Suite may be the restroom.

“This has been an enthralling series,” a follower commented. “Thank you for sharing.”

Ibiza is a popular vacation island in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain.
