Any suggestions for where to stay in Limerick city/suburbs?
Needs to be reasonably priced and not too far(a bus trip max) from Thomas Street,


TIA

For a night/weekend/year? A bit more detail would help

Other than it's not for a year, I don't have any more info. Let's say, a week jic.

Any particular budget in mind? Any hotel in the city centre if its only a week. Everything is within a walking distance of Thomas Street. The Pier Hotel or The Perry if you're on a budget. The George or The Absolute if you fancy treating yourself.

Again no real idea, other than its work paying for it. A/C think that its ok to put traveling workers into a hostel dorm!!!!, so nothing particularly fancy, a good B&B would work in the right area.

Thomas street and travelling workers. Uber I'm guessing? There are plenty of B&Bs in the city but I know very little about them to be honest. There are a few on O'Connell avenue that spring to mind. Mount Gerard B & B is one. Easy walking distance to Thomas street. 15 mins max.

Here's a B&B pretty close to your requirements

Latest is that its a one or two night stay in Jan, I'll be around the city all of the first day.

Which area's are safe for a lone woman in the city to stay in that time period?. I bought a friend to Limerick last Easter, she was intimidated by some of the tracksuited types she saw in the city day times. It put me off staying city center.

OP the city centre is absolutely fine, just employ the same common sense safety precautions you would in any other city in the world and you'll be fine.

Any of the city centre hotels will work perfectly for you, The George and The Absolute would be my suggestions. The Strand if you can swing it.

Agree, if work is paying for the accommodation then the above I'd consider reasonable, if paying yourself then the B&B I linked earlier is in a very safe location, 8/10 walk to where you need to go, more B&B's within another 5/6 minutes walk further on out the Ennis Rd towards Union Cross, no idea what any of them are like though

Look at the hotel options first, may be reasonable deals for January

Yup. must have been roid rage that made them try to steal her bag, follow her when she ran away. Finally kicking her in the head while "thanking" her for her "contribution" to their new trainers.

That's true of cities, but in my home city, I wouldn't stand at a bus stop with the sort of equipment I'll be carrying. Especially after what happened to my colleague.

Aside from that, is it safe enough to walk alone in after the shops close?

I was in the strand last year and it was lovely. I'll check on the others now I'm back online.

With the way you're talking, are you sure you want to come to Limerick?

That kind of thing can happen anywhere, but as I don't know limerick I'm more concerned about it that if I was in a city I did know. Even if I didn't have to go, why would I not go?
