My colleagues and I were in Galway for the night and came across this apartment in the docks. We were able to check in late which was very convenient and were impressed with the cleanliness and view of the docks.
We really enjoyed our time in Galway and must admit we were talking relatively loud in the lounge area. The neighbour asked us if we could keep it down and we happily complied. Before we went to sleep we cleaned the place up back to how it originally was and even swept & mopped.
At around 10am I was woken up to a loud bang on the front door and then someone walking in moments after. To my surprise it was the owner of the apartment Declan. He let him self into the bedroom I was sleeping in and started scoffing at me ordering me to get out of bed, get dressed and leave. I was so shocked I barley knew what to say. I have never had my privacy invaded like this staying anywhere else before.
He said there was a noise complaint from the neighbour and continued cursing and insulting me. He then went looking for the apartment keys before I had a chance to get dressed and went into my jacket pocket without my permission to see if they were there. I apologised for the issue and assured him the place was spotless. He didn’t want to hear anything I had to say and I started to feel quite intimated by him and made a quick exit.
I understand a noise complaint can be annoying for a host but I defiantly don’t think that gives means to invade a guests privacy like that. Will certainly never stay here again.
