The Sphinx Hotel

Had dinner there everything was great til they told me no lamb shanks wanted 2 try this dish

Food good, venue very good, overnight stay dreadful with tired rooms (nothing like the glamour photos) and local footy team members with a deathwish jumping off the dangerously rusted balcony railing to the swimming pool below at 3am - security did nothing.

Polyester sheets in the motel are not a good thing these days.
Both meals we ordered were a little overcooked. The Chicken Kiev was not filled with garlic butter, but rather a cold dollop of garlic butter placed on top when plating the food. The Asian beef stir-fry was overly coated in a spicy sauce meaning it was gluggy and too spicy.

We went there for dinner and a show only. Cant review rooms cause we didnt stay overnight.

Our first visit, yet we have lived in the area for over 20 years. Looks a little tired from the outside but a good maintenence effort could easily fix that.

Walked into the bistro and was surprised by the amount of people.busy but not full. Carpark didnt show evidence as there were still plenty of spots to park.

Great spot for a family dinner or special occasion. Kids playground, pokies, band room, good food, helpful and pleasant staff, pleasant decor. Egyptian style.brought back school memories.lol.

We ate, we drank some drinks, we went to a show. SKYHOOKS, with Bongo Starkie and band. Great reliving the old favourites. If you get a chance, go along and see them, you wont be dissapointed.

Fun night out, will visit again.

What a dump. It can not be called hotel by any stretch of imagination!

It is actually just watering hole for local drinkers and gambling house for local gambling adicts.
Reception was closed so you are checking in with gambling machines cashier but you can not just rock up and expect the service there. No. You have to wait for the cashier to finish serving "at the bar". Anything from 5 to 15 min and hopefully someone will come and check you in and take your money. Shocking service for $160 per night, that is all I can say about checking in process.

Place is far away from city centre and usual restaurants. You think you can have some food at The Sphinx Hotel? After all, they do have a "bistro" with about 10 tables there. Sorry you can not dine there if you haven't prebooked. Does not matter that you are guest of "hotel" and you just checked in. You are welcome to starve or drive 10 minutes to the nearest restaurant.

My advice is save yourself disappointment and stay in normal hotel/motel. I know I will avoid The Sphings in the future.

We had a seafood platter for 2 it was very nice.we were so full and enjoyed it but we couldn't eat it all.

Went to Don, s Party & meet a group Musos there (The catch up once a month). L had a very afternoon & lunch.

We have eaten at the bistro on a number of occasions and always leave very happy. This chef does his steaks exactly how you order them, blue, rare, or medium.

After a very clumsy accident on the morning of an event at the Sphinx, I called not knowing what footwear I could even were. Staff were super understanding & more helpful than I could of expected. Made for a fantastic & comfortable night out

Brilliant place to stay.
Bistro serves delicious meals, and very large portions so you won't go hungry.
Thoroughly enjoyed this place and definitely be there again.

Nice restaurant it's Egypt novelty it's a change from the usual restaurant really nice food

Had dinner there. Food was actually quite good. Not MasterChef standard but I devoured the flathead fillets.
Bar service was a bit slow but most places are anyway

Reef n beef for dinner t bone overdone asked for med rare close to well staff were a touch rude accusing us of charging to a room had to show receipt girl waitress more worried about what her reflection looked like than the service she gave

A fabulous experience and the staff went out of their way to ensure our plans went well. The restaurant and lounge venues were excellent. It is an easy short drive to the waterfront and Deakin. We will definitely stay there again.

Great live band venue. Staff are really welcoming, friendly and helpful. Food is really good with generous serving sizes.

Our room was dirty (really need to replace the dirty carpets), the place was loud (fights at 1.00am in the car park) and they don't have a key return box to check out.
Had to wander around and find a maintenance worker to return the key.

The mattress Couldn't have been flipped once more! Horrible place.
I would have been better, having a shower out side with the garden hose.never again will I stay there

Not bad close for everything except we book for queen bed but only got double, and milk is open other than that we love it

Birthday celebration, private room, delicious food and staff were amazing.
Haven't been there in years but will definitely eat there again. Thank you Jess

Waited an hour and a half for my food. My mates steak was cooked completely wrong after waiting that long and another one got his food 30 minutes after everyone else had already had there's. No apology from staff and the chef said that the food had already been given out despite the fact there was no food present. Will not be eating here again.
