If the guests were in the hotel some time ago, can they give me full names or something?

+ OK the answer is no, however hotel staffs are not always the brightest bulbs in the pack. If you ask if someone is there they will say yes or no, then you ask to be connected so you can call them. Just watch the key pad for them to dial and it will be the last three or four digits. also if you do get a connection and the person does not answer, wait for the answer machine and it will give you a recall number and that will have the room number in it.
EASY?

No they are not allowed. It is classed as being under "the privacy act". Look it up under federal law in your country. Each country has its own privacy laws, but they nearly always apply to places like hotels. There is no reasonable excuse for a member of the general public to ask for another person's information in a hotel.
The only ppl allowed to do so are the police and federal law enforcers. And for them to ask this information they nearly always have to get permission off their Senior Officer to do so.
You may not get into trouble for asking, but you wont get the information you want. They are not allowed to give a full name, what services the person is using or any personal information.

Yes, if you have enough reason why you want some information of their guest.

No they dont give private information, unless offcourse to the police and like bodies like the tax auhtorities.
If you are spying on your spouse...contact an investigating agency....or bribe the manager :)

No, but if you give a name and that person really is staying there the hotel has to transfer your call to their room. (They just can't give you the room number)

NO. They are legally obligated to protect the privacy of their guests

I don't think they are supposed to but we all know for the exchange of a few shekels most hotel staff will disclose anything...
