Is theft from hotel rooms common in Nha Trang and is it safe to use the in-room safe?

In August 2026 a traveler said they always use the in-room hotel safe and have never had a problem. He specified that this applies to decent hotels, not cheap rooms in back alleys, although in his view decent places can be found there too. Before booking budget accommodation, it is worth reading guest reviews of that specific property.

Another traveler wrote in August 2026 that nothing had ever been stolen from him, in hotels or in Airbnb apartments, where cleaning staff also come in. He added that he carries few valuables: his laptop sits on the desk in plain view, so a theft would be noticed immediately, he has no cash or jewelry, and his passport stays in his suitcase, which he believes is of no interest to anyone.
