Hotel was in a good location for us to board the sprit of Tasmania. It’s a basic and dated hotel but it was okay for what we needed.
Basic but clean room. Staff were excellent and helpful. Bistro for dinner was excellent also.

Excellent Meal and service at the Bistro.
Room cleanliness was average and the Spa not working properly! Wouldn’t stay there again at nearly $200.00 a night!!
Our room was spotless and the staff were very friendly. Nothing was a problem for them. The food in the hotel was excellent.I recommend the Sphinx Hotel and Motel . We will be back next year . Thank you for the wonderful service.
The room was clean and had everything we needed.
Car parking outside the rooms and with the restaurant and bar right next door, was very convenient for dinner. All food was delicious and reasonably priced.
Loved the staff’s friendly, easy going, will do anything attitude. It’s also one of the most “kid friendly family bistro” you should all be proud of your efforts and by the way ….. Thanks for the $968 Jackpot in the gaming Room ….. WINNER WINNER
I was a bit iffy when i first pulled up but it was such a good set up, room was great with a spa bath and dinner from the bistro (although no room service, you could take away from the bistro to your room) was absolutely delicious. The staff were all helpful and friendly and the night was peaceful and quiet and bed was comfy.

Dining options were excellent! Room was old, and heating ineffective
The rooms were very large and tĥe shower was great
No microwave shower had a cŕack in the base. No curtains window was not locked front door toʻ the room 1t was very flimsy I would trust it spa I wouldn't trust it very disappointed not worth the $210 a night stayed in much better and cheaper 👎
We booked the spa room, which was nice. The room was a bit dated, but clean and comfy. The staff went above and beyond duty though to help you, if needed.

Great location and dining experience was really good and playground was amazing for our 4 year old. Down falls is the pool was super dirty and didn’t want our son going in there and I think it’s alittle over priced for what it is just a real basic room and bathroom was falling apart but it did the job.
The Sphinx probably had its heyday in the 1980’s and still retains the optimism of that era. Our room was sparkling clean with none of the dreadful chemical deodoriser smell some older premises use. As an asthmatic - thank you Sphinx! The restaurant and bar are handy and the service excellent.
