Viva Travel strongly warns readers to avoid this hostel due to serious problems with security. At time of review (May 2008), Banana Republic was in the midst of a rash of burglaries, brought about by their lax and at times irresponsible attitude toward their guests' safety. We witnessed unknown locals wandering through the rooms at night, apparently not an unusual occurrence. Otherwise the hostel is reasonably clean and affordably priced. But until the security situation improves, we advise that travelers, particularly those with valuables or women traveling alone, to choose somewhere else.
