Oyster House

I have stayed here 4 times, in room 8 and had an amazing experience every time. I booked nearly 3 months in advance, and requested room 8. I have mobility issues and there is a lift to the first floor, and this room has a walk in shower. On arrival at the hotel, check in was very quick, but there was no conversation, we were told to follow the corridor and our room.was on the first floor. I got to the lift, and it was out of order, and remained so for the duration of the stay. This posed quite a problem for me negotiating 3 flights of stairs. I feel that bookings should have been notified about the lift. To my further dismay, i was in room 6, which had an over bath shower. This was very problematic for me. The room was lovely, although there was a half empty bottle of water in the fridge. We ate what we thought was a complimentary mini tub of pringles, only to discover they were £2.50. At check out i volunteered this information to be told i would be billed by housekeeping. Check out was very quick and easy, mainly because thats all the lady said. This is a beautiful place to stay, in a gorgeous location, and while i would stay again for this reason, Ive come away feeling somewhat disappointed.

Great location and helpful staff

Lovely room & very well presented. Only grumbe no mention of lift being broke till we arrived as wife has hip pain

Great location for touring the Mumbles and the Gower. Friendly staff.

Lovely room, felt very luxurious and relaxing

Beautiful and clean, great staff. Wonderful location right on the water.

Very nice hotel in beautiful location

I love staying there it's such a lovely hotel fantastic location highly recommended

It’s a shame that it’s not clear where the entrance is it’s a bit deceiving. The staff are friendly.

A wonderful hotel with friendly staff/owner that creates a lovely relaxed and laid back atmosphere. My young son and i love it here, and will be back soon for our 3rd visit!!

Lovely hotel in a great location.

Very clean, lovely fluffy towels and crisp sheets. Huge bed - bigger than a king size and good selection of teas and coffees

Pay and display Parking 70 yards away. No issues. Nice hotel. Good base for where we needed to go.

Bit tricky to find. Nice comfy rooms with some great little touches

Oyster is a lovely location, great rooms and good restaurant. Super helpful staff as well when we needed to amend our booking.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location in Mumbles.

The property had AC but was controlled centrally so unable to cool room on a warm day. Great views and centrally licated

Perfect location, overlooking the beach and surrounded by eateries/bars for a buzzing nightlife! Bed super comfy and rainforest shower was awesome! Didn't get the chance to use the bar/restaurant but def will next time. It looks very swish and plenty of tables. The staff were fantastic too, super helpful and kind. Thank you 😊

We were greeted by a charming guy called Alex. He was so friendly and welcoming. He did his very best to give us a room with a sea view, even though we’d not originally requested one. Rooms are comfortable, bed was comfy and we slept well. The hotel is near all amenities and wonderful walks around Mumbles and the pier. We’ll definitely stay here again.

One of our favourite places we have stayed. Hotel was beautiful, location was fantastic and the views from the room were amazing! The bed is one of the most comfortable beds we’ve slept in. The staff were very attentive. We had breakfast on the outside terrace and that was delicious. We use to live in swansea so we knew parking on the road up by verdis is free so we parked there and walked down (parking by the hotel is pricey). Had the best stay! Highly recommend

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and well appointed room . I'd highly recommended this hotel which was also excellent value for money.

Very nice place to stay ,

Really enjoyed our stay. Location was central and staff were all lovely.

1st class hotel , lovely bed

Very nice hotel

Absolutely love this hotel. My favourite. Quirky, comfortable, fabulous room & facilities. Super stylish. Beautiful location. Will be back.

Amazing

New management really helpful. Views spectacular. Food excellent. Best place to stay on the front.

Being on the Sea Front and the beautiful view across Swansea Bay! Highly recommended

A beautiful hotel right on the sea front. Lovely decor, clean, stylish rooms. Fabulous location so ready to stroll anywhere that you'd like to visit in Mumbles. Breakfast was very good and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Very comfortable room, beautiful view and the perfect location in the village. Staff are very friendly and the food and drink is good. This was my 3rd stay here and I'll definitely be back

I had a comfortable bright room with excellent tea and coffee-making equipment. The hotel is of a good standard with a large colourful restaurant with a very good cooked-breakfast menu. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel occupies a very good position on the sea-front at Mumbles and is a good starting point to embark on the beautiful Welsh coastal path.

Lovely sea-view room. Good breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff.

The hotel was doing its best to be first rate .. the staff were helpful.. beds were huge but too soft (but that s me ) The sea view room was ok .. had a terrace adjacent to the main hotel s terrace so was not private and was glad it rained or I can imagine it could be noisy.. was it worth the £217.room only ..I am afraid not …

Nicely decorated and furnished rooms, clean with sea view. Balcony had not been cleaned with evidence of 12 or more cigarrette butts in the floor. Food at breakfast was good but service was slow - not enough staff!

Room 8 is amazing. Stayed twice now, this time for some R&R after being poorly. The housekeeping staff were amazing and very respectful of my do not disturb dog! They called in the afternoon to see if i needed replenishments etc. The view is amazing from the private balcony, and very therapeutic. The shower is great, as are the products provided. The room was really hot, but fans were provided. Not eaten here, but looks lovely. Highly recommended. Choose a sea view if you can

This property is update, well thought out and staff could not be better. From check in to support (I accidentally threw my keys in with the trash) staff went out of their way to help. The room is simple yet with all the feel of an upscale boutique hotel. I will stay at oyster house again, happily.

Good location. Room was clean and comfortable Parking was a nightmare and expensive. Had to pay for parking twice in a 24hr period @ £14 per 12 hours. Our meal in restaurant wasn’t that great. Lovely walk along promanade.

I have been charged for a booking nwhich was cancelled by Oyster House but no refund ????

The hotel has been recently redecorated. Has a good reputation. Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking is limited to the Pay as you go car parks unless you can find a rare parking space on the road outside. Overlooks the sea from the back. Our room overlooked the road on the opposite side of the hotel but this wasn’t an issue for us as it was quiet.

Beautiful boutique style rooms Very clean room and very comfortable bed.

A lovely small hotel located just off a pedestrianised area on The Mumbles. The hotel itself was beautifully furnished and maintained to a very good standard. The hotel room was modern and had everything you needed for a stay. Staff were very helpful and the restaurant looked fabulous but it wasn’t serving food the night we were there, which was a shame. There were plenty of food places nearby though. The only downside, and totally out of the hotels control, was the cost of parking. The hotel has no parking for guests but there is a pay and display a short walk away which is quite pricey for a nights stay. We paid £22 for a nights parking.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and very comfortable. The hotel is close to places to visit and eat. The bathroom was great. The sheep was an added benefit, which we really liked. The only issue we had was the communication. I think the hotel just needs someone to actually look at messages and emails, the hotel communication just gets lost at the bar.

The only issue we had was the communication. The night before our stay, there was a mistake with the invoice. I couldn't get through to anyone and left 2 messages, but no one replied or phoned back. Also, i asked for soya/oat milk in the room, as there was a fridge with a little bottle of cows milk in the room, and this never happened. I think the hotel just needs someone to actually look at messages and emails, the hotel communication just gets lost at the bar.

Great hotel with super facilities. Easy check in and helpful staff. Room comfy. Balcony and sea view requested and this was a nice added extra.

Spotlessly clean hotel with fabulous rooms and facilities. Staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Highly recommended!

This is a lovely small hotel that has easy access to everything around Mumbles. The hotel is beautiful and comfortable and very quiet. We had a lovely view of the church. Heated towel bar, heated floors, great restaurant too.

Fantastic location and the rooms are all beautifully decorated

Easy check in at restaurant. Room was fabulous with own patio but unfortunately this had not been cleaned properly from previous guests. Location of the hotel is fantastic. We didn't eat in the hotel as had already made other arrangements but the bar area looked lovely .

Staff were excellent. The location is perfect. Loved it.

Hotel was great, car parking price as risen from £6 for 24 hours to £28 for 24 hours and can only be booked in 12 hour periods this means u have to get up in the middle of the night to pay to get you through to morning not the hotels fault but we were promised the manager would sort it before we left, he hasn’t yet ! Diner for such a nice restaurant is no longer table service but pay at the bar and food was lovely even if the staff did mess up the order and never came back with sauces after asking if we wanted any. We were told a new system had been installed and it had lost a lot of the original booking requests for several guests.rooms were nice clean and roomy beds a little to soft for me same as pillows that slipped down the back of the bed during the night.

It was our second time to stay, this time we didn’t have a sea view as the rooms had gone already but it was still lovely, room was stunning, bathroom was gorgeous and such lovely colours. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and even sorted out 1 extra hour for late check out which really helped. It was absolutely boiling and the air con was fantastic! The stay was for my birthday and we was both enjoying ourselves so much I did try ringing the hotel before we loaded the stuff out of the room to see if we could get 1 extra day if the room wasn’t already booked but unfortunately I couldn’t get hold of anyone. We stayed in room 10. We will definitely be staying again. Thanks oyster house. ☺️

Lovely accommodation and food with views of the sea. Shame about construction work along the promenade but it will be lovely once finished. Had great weather and could eat outside

Great location and even better that we were able to book the dog friendly room. Room itself had a few small maintenance issues but nothing that stopped us from enjoying our stay. We will return.

Staff were lovely, food was excellent. Fabulous toiletries. Bedding was so lovely

This property was on the sea front. However, the building work on the sea defences was very invasive. We booked a sea view but were told on that it was not available as we had dogs. This was in spite of me confirming via a separate e-Mail. Eventually we were offered a partial sea view. I had held the booking with a bank card - which I did not want to pay with - but as we were unpacking, a staff member came to the door to say that they had tried to take the money from that account. Had I known we needed to pay in advance of receiving any service, we would have used the correct card. As it was, we were made to feel as if we were trying to rip them off. We are regular travellers and are used to settling our bill on check out. When I queried this with the manager, I was told that this was the policy everywhere. Although our room was clean, there were a number of problems. The carpets in the communal areas were dirty and the walls of the room had clearly been marked and someone had painted over them in a different colour. This looked very unprofessional. Also, there were no wardrobes or cupboards, just shelves. The tea/coffee was minimal, and on several days was not replenished and the towels were not replaced. We found the bed uncomfortable and it was covered by a mattress topper which made me wonder what was underneath. We had a meal, which was poor, we were seated in the conservatory and the door was shut on us, making us feel unwelcome. Overall. very disappointing

Fantastic hotel. Great staff. Thank you!! xx

Pros- Cozy little hotel on the Mumbles waterfront. The rooms are spacious with several amenities like a coffee and tea maker. Convenient to the local shops and pier restaurants. Nice pub/restaurant downstairs. It is a nice property to base your exploration of the Gower peninsula area. Lots of beautiful shoreline to explore with many golden sand beaches. Cons - It is on a busy street that has a lot of traffic on the weekends. There is also construction for the next year or so on the waterfront walk to upgrade the flood protection. Work only starts about 8:00 so doesn't wake you early.

This is the best we stayed in while visiting Wales. The property is right on the waterfront and has the best view of Swansea. The hotel is very clean and modern and is surrounded with lots of restaurants, shops and pubs. Also, the food at this hotel was fabulous. Everything was cooked perfectly and especially their cockles. You absolutely have to try them. They are the best! The staff was very helpful and accommodating for all our needs. I forgot my European charger and they were gracious enough to give me one to keep, which was completely unexpected and very kind of them. I would highly recommended staying here if you ever visit Swansea/Mumbles area. Finally, I want to give a special shout-out to Steve, as he was so helpful throughout our entire stay.

We loved our stay here - friendly and helpful staff - lots to do and see

really nice hotel. super new.

Felt elegant, clean, and so relaxing. Loved every minute.

We stay here a lot and have seen a recent drop off in standards. The room was not cleaned properly, one of the duvets was ripped, the tissues were empty and not replenished, the bath mat was not replaced. The coffee and tea was not replenished. So a gradual drop in standards. The place is expensive and they need much stronger quality control. Hopefully this will happen for our next visit.

Excellent location. Modern decor, large bed and sea view with super essential oil toiletries. We will definitely visit again.

Lovely, took our dogs, better than photos

We stayed at Oyster House when it first opened. Returned for this stay and it is still such a fabulous hotel. Great facilties, clean, superb comfortable bed, amazing shower and a quality HD TV. Superb location right in heart of Mumbles and amazing staff.

Despite reading some comments about rude staff, all interactions we had were good. Location is good for all there is to do in Mumbles although a little noisy at night due to nearby bars; not that hotel can do anything about that. Room was clean and comfortable. However, other areas of hotel were very dusty & if I could clearly see it, why can’t cleaner? Little things like this stopped me giving an excellent rating. Overall though, I’d recommend.

The property was charming with a water view. The bathroom had nice features and the room was well planned and the beds were very comfortable. The little sitting area outside was an unexpected bonus. My daughter and I enjoyed the convenience of walking downstairs to the restaurant that offered excellent meal and food selections. The manager Steve and other staff were welcoming and accommodating.

Very modern and clean, the manage was very hospitable

I was in room 5 which had a part sea view and is over an alley way from the sea front to the high street. With people coming and going till the early hour's plus the noise of the guttering dripping all night. Great location, lovely room.

Not the best view from 1st floor but a lovely clean and well appointed room.

Amazing hotel, staff super friendly, extremely attentive, very clean beautiful hotel, can’t rate it high enough

Excellent

It was a beautiful room. The view was beautiful. The staff were friendly and professional . Unfortunately the bedding was dirty (rusty marks?) The room was way too hot even after turning the air conditioner down. Apart from that it was good.

Another great stay in a clean and comfortable wonderfully located hotel.

Modern hotel close to pubs and restaurants with a sea front position Good breakfast with table service which makes a nice change these days

Room was extremely noisy at about 2am as a number of guests were running through the hotel shouting and yelling - shower in room 1 was cold.

Lovely room with good detail- loved the water and milk in fridge and coffee supplies etc. my only 2 slights in the stay was the lack of conditioner in bathroom (if it says toiletries included, please please include conditioner!) and the fact that the shower was too hot to put my head under, even on the coolest setting! As there was nobody around at 6am (understandably not manned as a boutique hotel rooms with restaurant) I couldn’t report it and had to go to my conference un-showered! Other than that very much liked the place

The hotel is very nice but there is lots of construction at present on the seafront. Our room was very comfortable, staff very helpful, great breakfasts

Beautifully decorated room with real "queen" bed, gorgeous bathroom, comfy, comfy.

Staff go above and beyond to help assist the guests .

Lovely accommodation, however air con did not work, which was my primary reason for booking there.

Great bars and food options around the property

Very helpful staff. Lovely room and amenities.

We were very happy with our accomadation, the room, food and staff were excellent, and the location was close to shops etc. I only have one complaint, we arrived by car and to find there was no hotel parking, and the off street parking was miles away as it was a lovely warm sunny day the town was very busy.

Fantastic location, quality staff, dining and accommodation - high standards & quality. Rooms at the rear on the roadside - noise from traffic & people out late/early hours, so if you're a light sleeper may experience an unsettled night! Maybe sea view rooms are quieter.

Stayed for 2 nights. Central in mumbles with busy nightlife.

Great

Stayed one night we were upgraded to a sea view room. Breakfast was great

This newer very small property sits right at the seawall. It is very lovely and has great views. The staff is A1. Only problem is there is no parking, even for just checking in. The entry is difficult to find as well, but once you get in it is exceptional . I really hope this gets corrected soon. The staff was as helpful as they could be through our psrking difficulties.

Fantastic Hotel, amazing location, food fabulous and service excellent, would recommend to anyone.

Property and staff are great , rooms are ok My only comment is that there was no cupboard or any draws to unpack your case, but definitely visit again. Note some rooms on the 1 st have terrace right by the roof bar terrace.

Excellent location; spotlessly clean & friendly staff. A tad pricey!

Excellent location and hotel

Fresh design, new and convenient.
