What is a Hotel Room Safe?

Room safes, also known as safe boxes, allow hotel guests to securely store their valuables (money, laptop, watch, jewelry, passport, etc.) in their room. In many hotels, we see safes designed to accommodate a 15″ laptop. The safes typically feature a thickness of steel ranging from 2mm to 5mm, electrostatic powder coating, and digital keypad locks as standard.

There are various brands and types of hotel room safes available in the market. However, many of them fall short in ensuring the security of valuables.

In the event of valuables being lost within the hotel room safe without being locked, the responsibility lies entirely with the guest. This factor underscores the importance of adequately sized and secure room safes that comply with security procedures.

The most critical feature hotel procurers should consider in their choice of room safes is the ability to transfer data from the safe, including the last 100 transactions (such as when and with which code it was opened or locked), to a computer system via a USB port and handheld terminal. Through this feature, hotel operators fulfill their responsibility to their customers in the event of potential losses.
