Le SPHINX HOTEL — Hotel in Mohammedia

What a superb hotel! It used to be a high-class bordello run by Madame Andrée but has now been converted to a boutique-hotel in central Mohamedia, about 40 minutes drive from Casablanca airport.||The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean but I suggest that you request rooms between 201 and 205 unless you are a very sound sleeper of a disco nightbird. The beds are large and firm, with neither shower or bath. Decoration consists of photographs of French actors and singers of the past. Each room has a tv system which takes some working out but, once mastered, provides a generous amount of broadcasts from international channels.||||The hotel has an excellent restaurant which served the finest fish and seafood I have ever eaten in Morocco, accompanied by exceedingly drinkable Moroccan wines..||||A generous breakfast buffet can be enjoyed in the gardens by the swimming pool. There is also a disco bar which serves drinks as of 8 p.m. and which begins its music show around midnight, which may determine your room choice! The bar is called "Jef". in honour of the song of the same name made famous by Jacques Brel.||||Above all, the staff are extremely courteous, helpful and efficient. Their welcoming smiles are not superficial, they come from the heart.||||There are a number of golf courses in a radius of about 40 minutes, encompassing Rabat and Casablanca for those eager to go looking for bargains in the souks.||||This was my first visit to the Sphinx and "inch'allah" not my last! A very...

I discover this place by internet and I didn't expect that it would be this great.||From my arrival, Said the porter is very helpful and help explains me about the history of the Hotel that its restaurant Madame Andree was once the favourite place of French personalities such as Edith Piaf and Jacque Brel who dedicated the song "Jef" to Madame Andree. He also helped me with the technical stuffs for the tv in my room. The room is nice with pictures of 60's stars and also at the passage and stairway, which make the atmosphere very stylish. The restaurant is very classy and the long "Jef" is wonderfully decorated. Alcohol is available here. The hotel's staffs are so polite and friendly, especially the receptionist Hamada who also showed me around the place. The outdoor pool is not heated. The spa is only available on Wednesday and Friday. In summary, I will return here for...

I have stayed at Le SPHINX HOTEL mid April 2025, and my stay was way better than what I had expected. The experience started at the reception where a gentleman offered us a warm welcome and made us feel like home (home away from home). Rooms are clean and spacious. (If you are staying there, check out the Edith Piaf Suite and read about the history of the place). Breakfast is simple and customised to an extent (e.g. they would ask you what you put in your omelette and make it for you the way you prepare it at home). The restaurant Chez Madame Andrée offers decent food at reasonable prices, and a nice selection of wine. Restaurant’s staff is professional and hard working. The location of the hotel is ideal: walkable distance from the train station and from the corniche. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the staff of the hotel and thank them for their...
