Hotel room security safes

Hotel safes for guest rooms: security and convenience for your guests

Hotel safes provide guests with a private space to store documents, cash, jewelry, electronic devices and other personal items they wish to keep protected during their stay.

At Todo Para Tu Hotel you will find professional safes designed for hotels, holiday apartments, hostels, resorts, residences and other accommodation types. Our selection includes different sizes and configurations so the safe can be adapted to the furniture, room type and typical guest profile.

We primarily work with Perseo safes, the hotel-focused line from BTV Group, with models specifically developed for use in guest rooms of hospitality establishments.

Which hotel safe should you choose for a guest room?

There is no single safe suitable for every hotel. The decision should be based mainly on available space, internal dimensions, the opening system and the items the guest will likely store.

Before choosing a model, particularly check:

• The external dimensions of the safe.
• The usable internal dimensions.
• The space available in the wardrobe or furniture where it will be installed.
• The opening system the guest will use.
• The emergency opening procedure for authorised staff.
• Fixing options to the furniture or the intended structure.
• If space is needed to store a laptop or other larger devices.

Electronic safes with personal code for hotels

One of the most practical solutions in a hotel room is an electronic safe with a personal code. The guest can set their own code during the stay and use it for subsequent openings.

This operation avoids the need for the guest to carry an additional key and makes use straightforward throughout their stay.

Emergency recovery or opening systems vary by model, so we recommend always consulting the product technical sheet before selecting a final reference.

What size hotel safe do you need?

Size should be chosen based on the types of items to be stored and the space available in the room furniture.

In urban hotels and accommodations aimed at business travellers it can be particularly useful to offer models that accommodate certain laptops. In this case, don’t rely solely on descriptions like “large” or “for laptop”: it is better to verify the actual internal dimensions of each reference.

Where to install a hotel safe in a guest room?

The location should make the safe easy for the guest to use while allowing for a secure installation.

A common option is to install the safe inside a wardrobe or room furniture, provided there is enough space to open the door fully and operate the keypad comfortably.

It is also important to review the intended fixing method and the strength of the furniture or surface where it will be mounted.

Safes for storing laptops

It is increasingly common for guests to travel with laptops, especially in urban hotels, business-oriented properties and accommodations used for work stays.

If you want to offer this option, we recommend selecting a safe whose internal dimensions comfortably accept the laptop without forcing it or preventing the door from closing properly.

Before purchasing for multiple rooms, it may be useful to physically check the device’s dimensions and compare them with the technical sheet of the chosen model.

What do guests usually store in a safe?

Usage depends on the traveller, but a room safe can be used to store various personal items during the stay:

• Passport and documents.
• Cash.
• Jewelry and watches.
• Laptops.
• Tablets.
• Cameras.
• Mobile phones and other devices.
• Car keys and vehicle documents.
• Other small personal belongings.

Emergency opening: an important aspect for the hotel

Besides ease of use for guests, the hotel must know how the emergency opening is performed for each model.

This function may be necessary if a guest forgets their code, an incident occurs, or authorised staff need to intervene following the hotel’s established procedure.

Emergency opening methods vary between safes. For this reason, we recommend checking this feature specifically on the product sheet and defining in advance who will be authorised to use it.

Fixing the safe to the furniture

A room safe should be installed following the fixing options provided by the manufacturer and taking into account the furniture characteristics.

Before equipping a large number of rooms, review:

• The installation location.
• The available measurements.
• The safe door opening.
• Fixing points of the chosen model.
• The resistance of the furniture or surface.
• Accessibility for the guest.

Which safe do we recommend by accommodation type?

Rather than assigning a model solely by hotel category, we recommend analysing the guest profile, available space and the real needs of the establishment.

Common mistakes when choosing safes for a hotel

• Not checking internal dimensions. A safe may fit perfectly in the wardrobe but still lack the internal space needed for the intended use.
• Choosing only based on price. Consider operation, dimensions, emergency management and installation as well.
• Not checking the furniture before placing a large order. It is advisable to verify installation in a sample room first.
• Not reviewing the emergency opening procedure. Authorised staff must be familiar with the procedure for the installed model.
• Failing to plan maintenance. For battery-powered models, establish a routine check.
• Assuming any safe will fit a laptop. Compatibility must be determined by usable internal dimensions.

Test one unit before equipping all rooms

When outfitting a whole hotel or replacing safes in many rooms, we recommend first performing a check in a representative room.

This allows you to confirm available space, door opening, accessibility, fixing method and suitability of internal size before applying the same solution throughout the property.

In projects with different room types, it may even be advisable to use more than one safe size.

Perseo safes for hotel guest rooms

In this category you will find several models of Perseo hotel safes, with various dimensions, formats and features.

Not all references offer exactly the same characteristics, so we recommend consulting the individual product sheet before comparing options.

If you need to equip multiple rooms, we can help you select the references that best fit the furniture, guest profile and needs of your property.

Complete the room security and equipment

The safe can be part of a broader room equipment project.

If you are also updating property access, you can consult our electronic locks for hotels.

You can also complete the room with our selection of minibars, hairdryers, guest room waste bins and other professional room equipment.

Which safe is suitable for a guest room?

It mainly depends on available space, guest profile and the items to be stored. For most projects we recommend comparing internal dimensions, opening system, emergency procedure and fixing options.

Electronic safes with a personal code offer easy operation for guests and are a common solution in hotel rooms. However, compare the specific features of each model before choosing.

Can a laptop be stored?

It depends on the safe’s internal dimensions and the laptop size. Before purchasing, compare both measurements and don’t assume compatibility based solely on the name or external size of the safe.

Where should the safe be placed?

It is usually integrated inside a wardrobe or room furniture, provided there is enough space, it can be fixed properly and is comfortable for the guest to use.

What happens if a guest forgets the code?
