Tastefully furnished hotel and bistro on new wharf area on Mumbles seafront. Friendly check in and very stylish decor with a seaside theme. Room was spacious but overlooked road rather than sea. Comfy large bed with quality linen and towels, high quality fitments, hospitality tray including fresh milk in fridge, art deco bath, fabulous rain shower and Bramley toiletries (but Welsh ones might be more appropriate). We'd suggest a couple of tweaks - the plug is too far away from the mirror to comfortably use the hairdryer, may be impractical to move plug but mirror could be moved nearer to plug. Lid of toilet is damaging the bathroom wall, very unstable wi-fi and unnecessarily complicated tv, we weren't able to access any terrestrial channels but got I-player through the open account of a previous guest. Breakfast was included, but the menus have prices and no indication of what a B&B guest is entitled to. There were plenty of staff standing around but service appeared untrained, we had to ask for juice, no options were offered, we asked about cereal and were told this wasn't available although we could have cornflakes! No toast was provided, and we sat for 20 minutes and nobody cleared our empty plates or offered anything else so we gave up and left. Tables were left uncleared and staff stood far away by bar rather than circulating around, clearing tables, offering refills or asking if people needed anything. A one- course breakfast with no tea or coffee refills doesn't reflect good value or the level of service boutique hotel customers expect. Considering we paid over £200 B&B it was annoying to have no free or even subsidised parking, the website says £17 for 24 hours, but from 1 July the council no longer offers 24 hour parking, so if you check in at 3pm and out at 11am the following day you need to pay £8 from 3pm to 11pm and then a further £12 for 11pm to 11am, and parking availability is limited as many spaces are closed due to building works. I would suggest all Mumbles venues protest to the council about this additional barrier to the hospitality industry. Great location and lovely hotel, but they need to improve the professionalism of service to reflect the boutique hotel vibe they are going for.

Hotel Was nice , dining experience was pub level no table service order at the bar food was great service was terrible. Rooms Looked great beds and pillows too soft and lost pillows down the back of bed not a great sleep Parking price now 400% more than advertised beware and yo have to get up in the middle of the night to pay again as no 24 hour option so set your alarm. In all don’t expect to sleep well or it’s going to cost you And don’t fall for the managers offer to sort your parking out before you leave he won’t . Hotel should have given a heads up on parking increase we would have cancelled . On top of this the whole are is now a building site as the council improve the sea defences this means less car parks hence why you paying 4 x more than advertised to park now but this should be made clear by the hotel we booked this 12 months ago.

Beautiful views from sun terrace to compliment excellent food and service. Dog friendly too! Salt and pepper squid was great as was the chicken with Thai salad. I would have preferred if they took your order at the table rather than have to order at the bar, but a small price to pay!

This hotel was beautiful. Our room was so clean and the furniture was excellent. Such a huge bed we nearly needed a megaphone to say goodnight !! Bedding and particularly pillows was so soft and comfortable! Nearly on the beach and I’m sure the nightlife when it’s warmer would be lovely especially the rooftop bar overlooking the bay. The staff are so happy to help and the manager was very helpful when we had a problem with the tv. I really can’t find any fault so…..thank you for a lovely stay. Xxx

Came on March the 30th 2024, it was my birthday treat with my daughters, we all ordered the same full English breakfast, when it came the food was delicious and very fresh, after about 5 minutes I said to my daughter how didn't you butter your toast, she said what toast I didn't have ant even though the butter was in a dish on her plate, then she said why have you two.got 2 sauages I have only one, this was never rectified and the service was very slow and terrible none of the serving staff we saw where polite or happy

Date of Visit: February 17th, 2024 Time of Visit: Around 11:00 AM My experience at Oyster House on February 17th left much to be desired. Despite the promising ambiance, the visit was marred by exceptionally poor service. Upon arrival, my husband and I were eager to enjoy some morning coffees. However, our anticipation quickly turned sour when a waitress abruptly informed us, without any courtesy, that breakfast service was no longer available. Her demeanour was unnecessarily brusque, as she snatched the menus from our hands before abruptly departing. This lack of basic hospitality was striking and set the tone for the remainder of our visit. Subsequently, another staff member, who appeared to be in a supervisory role, cleared plates from previous customer from our table without so much as a nod of acknowledgment towards us. The absence of any greeting or recognition of our presence was disheartening, to say the least. Undeterred, my husband proceeded to the bar in the hopes of salvaging our visit by ordering some coffee. Unfortunately, the interaction with the same unapologetically rude waitress continued. Despite serving other customers before and after, she blatantly disregarded his presence, even leaving the bar to speak with someone. Given the repeated instances of neglect and discourtesy, my husband and I made the regrettable decision to cut our visit short and leave. While the restaurant may have an appealing atmosphere, the utter lack of professionalism and basic courtesy displayed by the staff overshadowed any potential positives. It is my sincere hope that the Oyster House takes steps to address these issues promptly, as they detract significantly from the overall experience. Until then, I cannot in good conscience recommend this establishment to others.

Quite disappointed. The start of our experience was the lady who greeted us - sharp, rude and abrupt. She didn’t tell us anything about the menu and just said ‘order at the bar’. We had booked the table in advance. Went to order and one item of Sunday lunch wasn’t there. Also disappointing as we had pre booked plus she neglected to mention it. The food itself was ok. Not enough vegetables. No one came and checked on us. She cleared table and didnt even offer a dessert menu. Quite appalling customer service all in all. I won’t be recommending it sadly and in my job I get asked a lot. Please train your staff as even if the food doesn’t make the mark your staff will over ride that.

Looks fab from outside and until today never felt smart enough to step inside. However dogs babies prams and tracksuits galore. It’s not what you would expect. 4 items on main menu for lunch 3 burgers one fish and chips. Nothing special. Chicken burger very dry with dry colesalw mix and under average frozen chips. One guy serving food was absolutely miserable as sin. We enjoyed the venue the decor and its a change from Croeso, but don’t expect anything fancy. Would I return? Maybe in casual clothes when out walking but not in anything fancy.

Awful, overpriced food - The Burger would not fill a sparrow & the sandwich was served with stale bread. If this wasn't bad enough, the food was way overpriced & bland. Better off going next door to either of the 2 venues that serve excellent well priced fayre with better surroundings & atmosphere

The level of customer service was superb from the moment we walked in until the moment we left the hotel. Having made an error in booking and turning up a day early the reception staff dealt with our error without any issue and rebooked us in to the same room type and deal within minutes. The room was ready, clean, warm and fully serviced. We stayed in room 14 on the 2nd floor with a Juliet balcony overlooking Mumbles Bay and a huge comfy king+ bed. Lovely hot shower. Dinner and breakfast were included and neither disappointed. Good choices too. The bar / table staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The Xmas decorations in the bar / restaurant continued through to the hotel common areas which was a nice touch. We will definitely be back in the future. Well done The Oyster House 👏👍

We went here with the family for Christmas dinner, this included elderly family members and 2 young children. Not only did the staff leave us in a boiling hot room on our own, we didn’t have the drinks we had ordered. After we had requested the drinks with another staff member, our original server had the audacity to say we had told on him - and complained about having a telling off from his boss (or manager). We were consistently ignored by the staff for any meal requests. Later on in the evening a female staff member gave us our set desserts/coffees and I was horrified by the fact that she looked disgusted at both of the children - who were not doing anything. I was truly terrified at her behaviour! Staff were rude which was such a shame. Food was lovely, and we still had a good time despite the staff member’s behaviour.

The hotel was lovely The food was excellent The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly My sister and I booked the room for the disabled which was lovely and the wet room facilities were perfect Unfortunately the access to the room had not been considered I’m in a wheelchair and my sister has limited mobility , the car park is 150 yds from the entrance trying to get our suitcases along was almost impossible luckily a kind individual saw our problem and assisted us to the entrance We had to enter through the bar and then move along a very narrow corridor with several right angled corners very hard to negotiate with a wheelchair. This then ended in with a steep flight of about 5 steps, I was offered a ramp which I was very nervous of , I managed to get out of my chair and go backwards down the stairs with assistance. Anyone who cannot get out of their chair would be stuck. Then there was a lift to the floor of our room which was the furthest room from the lift . To go down for meals we had to go into a side alley and out into the open to the sea front , very unpleasant if it was raining. At the end of the alley there was a large step again I had to get out of my chair holding on to window boxes while my chair was taken down the step. I would not recommend this hotel for anyone who is disabled, but for anyone able bodied it would be a wonderful place to stay.

Tried to order on the app for family convenience, half the stuff on the menu isn’t on the app. Plus there’s so many steps to register and pay that it’s just much easier to use the regular method of ordering at the quiet bar. Ordered the food which the crazy waiter later tried to deliver to another table, despite them clearly not recognising the order. The bread to the sandwich was dried out on the outside, like it had been sat under a heat lamp or the sun for ages, which the waiter tried to claim was a brief toasting under the grill .. come on, your punters know grill toasted bread from dried out bread. Either toast it properly or don’t bother at all. A lacklustre experience.

Arrived and paid £16 for pint of morretti and a medium Pinot Grigio!!! Nearly fell over. The vegetarian fritters were lovely but my husband had the burger which was dry and missing the coleslaw. I was not told they were out of coleslaw when I paid or when I was given the meal. I would have chosen a different meal if no coleslaw but I was not good Ben the choice ! This made it even more dry to eat they could have got coleslaw from the coop next door and nobody would have known. So really disappointed with the price and the dry food . The gentleman who greeted us is always pleasant and helpful so I compliment all staff there .

We stayed for nights and had a great time. Mumbles is one of our favourite places and The Oyster House is a lovely place to stay. The breakfasts were superb and the room was beautiful, very clean and comfortable. All of the staff we met were lovely, friendly and helpful. And they were especially kind on Sunday when I was unwell. It was much appreciated and we very much look forward to coming back to The Oyster House in the Spring.

We stayed here whilst visiting family locally, the rooms we had were very nice and comfortable. However it was hard to control the heating, so the rooms were either hot or really cold. Hot water ran out mid shower, which is never very pleasant and...

Excellent service and great food, we enjoyed our meal so much that we returned again during our trip away for Sunday lunch. Dogs are allowed in the conservatory area so we didn’t have to leave him at home.

This venue is in one of the best spots in Mumbles, but the service and food did not live up to expectations. The gentleman who greeted us at the door was quite abrupt, we had a voucher to use and he seemed to find this...

From the moment we entered we were made to feel welcome. Check in was informative and we were escorted to our room. The sea view room has a lovely comfortable bug bed. Nice tea tray, mini fridge with two decent sized bottles of water and...

Despite the beautiful scenery and fish presentation, the food was so disappointing! The cod dish is unseasoned and unsalted. The only flavour comes from an over powering chorizo jam which didnt even taste that nice either. The worse part was the dessert. I ordered a...

Great location, lovely roof top bar spoilt by the fact that the upstairs bar is closed and you can.t get served at the downstairs bar. Drinks are ordered via a very poor app. I mistakenly ordered 'a splash' of coke for my partner instead of...

Came with my mum for her birthday meal out. Very pleasant and efficient service so that’s improved since our first visit. I had oysters which were excellent as was the dipping bread with oil/balsamic. Mains of trout, mussels and lamb were absolutely perfect and dessert...

Having had a previously good meal here, tonight's was a disappointment. Our bread and olives arrived simultaneously with our starters, my duck starter was luke warm and stodgy, my ladies' scallops were undercooked, their lamb was more fat than meat. My chicken was drearily dry....

Service was good and the mains were very nice. Only gripe was we ordered the smocked mackerel pate for the table. There was just the 2 of us, but we were served 3 triangles of bread. Seemingly pennies are saved by not serving 4. Gets...

Very slow service. Waiting staff were pleasant but seemed clueless. Front of house was barking orders very loudly at staff while she stomped around the restaurant. Restaurant lacked atmosphere. Lots of empty tables. Food was just ok. Nothing special. Not worth the price and the...

Booked for graduation, despite being 4 days before they cancelled my booking. Was really looking forward to it as i’ve heard good reviews from other people. However, there were structural issues that could not be avoided, due to them cancelling my booking and me paying a deposit to reserve the table they ensured i would get a refund made to the same account i paid from. With multiple calls made and no email to contact there is no response. Quite gutted as we were looking forward to it, however it should not be that difficult to refund the customers who paid in advance when they could not open.

I was really looking forward to my dinner here, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. Despite making a reservation, we were seated at a makeshift table in the middle of the restaurant, surrounded by noise. It felt more like an afterthought than a reserved space. The drinks came out half-empty and were either missing the Prosecco or the tonic water , which was disappointing. The mains were decent, but the desserts were a real letdown. The tiramisu was warm and melted, with an overpowering alcohol taste that ruined the flavor. As for the cheesecake, it was served without the advertised cherries and lacked the creamy mascarpone texture—it was just single cream instead. Overall, it was not the dining experience I had hoped for. There’s definitely room for improvement, especially when it comes to attention to detail and honoring reservations.
