In room safe?

Our hotel Citadine has an in room safe. How secure you think it is for storing valuable like credit cards passport and jewelry?

You%26#39;ll probably get some disagreement on this topic! I think hotel room safes are fine for leaving behind valuable things you don%26#39;t want to carry around (passports, credit cards, extra cash, etc.) I wouldn%26#39;t bring a lot of valuable jewelry with me if I were you. I usually wear my wedding/engagement ring, and have one set of jewelry that I wear every day, none of it super expensive.

Keep in mind that the hotel is able to open your safe. In general, I think it%26#39;s rare that anyone will open it and it will keep your belongings secure from the odd thief wandering the halls while the rooms are cleaned. I expect you%26#39;ll hear from both sides on this, but I use safes in hotel rooms regularly and haven%26#39;t had any trouble.

My experience and advice is the same as RedSavage. It is generally considered a good idea to leave expensive jewelry at home when traveling anyway. I am generalizing here. You%26#39;ll certainly find people who disagree. I just think it%26#39;s a common sense sort of thing. Why do you want to have to think about the safety of your jewelry while you%26#39;re on vacation, you know? Wear a few simple pieces that you can keep on you all the time.
