You may decide to leave one of them open so enough air and sunshine would purify the room during your absence, but that’s not very a good idea. Keep in mind that thieves from all around the globe know exactly how to break in, so pay attention to this detail.
If you don’t really feel secure about the neighborhood where your hotel is, then you probably would want to close them, even when you are in the room.
Outwit the burglars

You should expect more robberies to happen when you are outside your hotel room, discovering the city and sunbathing on the beach. Be sure that the thieves would definitely be keeping an eye on your balcony room and at you till you leave the hotel. They have extreme confidence that you will not be back anytime soon as they claim all of your belongings.
Here is a trick that could fool them: You should create an illusion that someone is there in the room. For example, you can put the Do Not Disturb sign outside your door and leave the TV on. The thief will not risk getting into the room then.
Use a security sound alarm

If you are going to spend the night at a public place like a railway station or a waiting area, then setting a security sound alarm is highly recommended.
These alarms would usually make a loud noise when someone tries to take your belongings, which is perfect to make you alert and scare the burglars off. Just make sure to not touch the backpack when you sleep in order not to get a false alarm that would freak you out, along with the people around you.
If you tend to keep your expensive belongings in your backpack, even in a hotel room, then you should still keep the alarm on because thieves would not want to be caught running with a ringing backpack.
Avoid using the safe in the hotel room

Basically, every hotel room has Safes that are so-called administrator’s mode. If you tried to make your own personal password, the safe will open if anyone entered the code 999999. So, your personal password would actually be useless.
