This is a small space, ideal for sleeping after a long day out, however it is distant from the city center you can use it as a hub for other places in Ireland (we did a one day tour to Northern Ireland by car), the parking is in the street and even though you can read the district is unsafe the reality is that nothing happened to us or the car, when you leave in the morning you can see everyone going to school or work so I think saying is unsafe is exaggerated. Make sure the heater is properly set (timing) otherwise if it is cold outside you will feel it. There were some spots of mold in the walls nothing too crazy so that was not a big concern as this is a great value stay. So in summary I would recommend the place if you are ok with a small space and a quiet/comfy bed with a private bedroom.
