Are hotel rooms in Hanoi safe to leave valuables in when away exploring the city? Deposit box, locked luggage are enough? Sorry first time traveling to Vietnam, any good tips appreciated

Common sense. Always take your passport. Safes get broken in to
As safe as house’s.
One time I forgot an expensive piece of jewelry on coffee table in a DaNang hotel room and I was freaked out. Fortunately, it was safe even though hotel staff were in earlier for room services. I guess I was lucky. There are good and bad people everywhere so better safe than sorry.
Consider hotel and surrounding environment…use common sense.
In Hanoi and Hoi An our safes were not even bolted down.
We’ve never had any problems and have stayed in all types of accom across Vietnam. The only theft posts I have ever seen has usually assumed it has been done by another tourist. So just be careful if staying in budget accom with shared facilities etc.
Go 5 stars hotel only !!
I’ve never had a single problem there. Nothing.
Been travelling in Vietnam for 5 weeks. Never locked ipad away. Cash and cards in locked backpack. Dont trust room safes.
