You could say "self explanatory".
For example, a book with the title "History of Britain" - the title is self explanatory. ( ie it explains itself)
My cat is called Fluffy - her name is self explanatory!
Is this the context you mean?
eta ( edited to add) : Alternatively, you might say "it speaks for itself" -
The hotel's good reputation speaks for itself, the facts speak for themselves ( ie, no further explanation is needed)

you can say it talks about itself, or it describes itself
