TL;DR
Theft is not widespread in decent hotels or Airbnb apartments in Nha Trang — using the in-room safe is generally safe, and incidents are rare if valuables aren't left in plain sight.
One traveler says they never had anything stolen either in hotels or Airbnb apartments (even though those also have cleaning staff). Tip: don't leave a laptop or cash out in the open — a passport can be kept in the suitcase, as it's usually of no interest to thieves.
Travelers who regularly use the in-room hotel safe report never having any theft issues. The key caveat: this applies to decent hotels, not cheap rooms on back-alley side streets.
