Can you please tell me what is the safe at the reception?
I always used a safe in the room, but now I have chosen a hotel where there is no safe in the room. What is the procedure for using the safe at the reception and is it safe?

Safe, just don't lose the key to the safe. For the loss of a key in hotels, a fine of $ 50 or more is provided. And the usage process is very simple. When you check in, you immediately warn that you need a safe and you are given a key with a cell number. The safe itself is located in a separate room and consists of many cells. Each cell is a narrow and long box (length about 50 cm, height about 10 cm). When you need to use it, go to the reception and say that you want to open the safe. An employee of the hotel with a bunch of keys passes with you into the room with the safe. You open your cell with your key, and he SIMULTANEOUSLY opens your cell. After that, he goes out, and you put in or take out what you need. Then you yourself insert your box into the cell, close it with a key and leave. The key is handed over upon check-out.

I didn’t come across it myself, but I read that if something is lost from the safe at the reception, the hotel refuses to be held responsible.
There were cases when not only money was lost, but also documents (tickets, passports).
So I don’t even know if it’s worth using the safe at the reception.

the hotel will always refuse responsibility!! you never know, you say that there were diamonds! =)
safes are different. there are cells where the passport-wallet-documents fit. there are larger ones where you can put the camera, and there are those that have a small general safe, only documents-money will fit in there (they will sign the room number)

the point is that I read that documents/money were lost, which were transferred to the safe at the reception for preservation.
perhaps it was some kind of general safe at the reception, not the cells.
Perhaps with such a transfer it makes sense to take a receipt, although keeping money in any safe is not the best solution.
way to reduce the risk of theft is to take several types of cash
- the banknotes themselves, stored in at least three places (one of them - with you, the other two - perhaps some are still in the safe and some among the luggage that is locked)
- traveler's checks (recovered after carding, because registered)
- credit cards in case of cash theft (at least two, separate from the money, but 1 - with you, and 1 - somewhere else, but not in the safe)
Here's how it could be.
