The hotel is usually the simplest first choice. Ask reception to hold the bags before check-in or after check-out, get a claim tag, and confirm the collection deadline. If you are not returning to the hotel, a staffed station counter or official locker may be more useful.
Never leave passports, medicine, cash, bank cards, batteries, or the only copy of a ticket inside stored luggage. Keep the items needed to retrieve the bag with you.
