Only problem for me was my room hotpot to make tea did not work but a community one was available in the common kitchen on 4th floor.

My room (21) was so nicely laid out and cozy. The bed, including a warmer-big plus, was fabulous. Great hot shower in a nice bathroom. The room has a view of the square and was perfect for people watching. The upper level terraces overlooking the square/pond/stupa was a very nice outdoor space for breakfast or anytime. The breakfasts are outstanding and fill you up proper for a great day of sightseeing. The host and hostess are more than congenial, willing to help with directions, getting transportation and general advice. A really lovely family.

A picturesque, warm-hearted guesthouse with a wonderful location and kind service. Set on Pimbahal Pond, it’s both quaint and full of activity — old and new. Giving a lovely illustration of what makes Nepal so unique. The host was most kind and thoughtful. He helped make the place special. My sister had injured her leg before arriving, and the staff were incredibly helpful and flexible in taking care of her - moving her to a room on a lower floor and delivering food. A guesthouse I’d recommend to anyone who wants to get a sense for what makes Nepal, Nepal

Perfect location and an awesome view, family run heritage building. It’s simple but very authentic and enjoyable.

This hotel, this suite, this location, and this incredible hotel owner/ family made our last few days in Nepal unforgettable. This hotel is nothing short of magical and we were cared for like family. What an absolutely beautiful experience!

Nothing at all

Shailendra was absolutely brilliant! He made my time beyond perfect. He and his family are beautiful people, and he was always up for a chat. I will make sure to return to Tajaa Pha the next time I am in Nepal.

We stayed five nights at Tajaa Pha in Patan and this was a highlight of our trip to Nepal. The hotel is situated right in Patan and makes for a great location to start day trips to around the area - we didn't have any troubles finding taxis right outside the gates of Patan / Lalitpur. We stayed in a larger room, which was great to spread out all of our hiking gear and organize. Our room was streetside, so we heard the street sounds - bring earplugs if you're sensitive to sounds while sleeping. Shailendra was fantastic and helped us out a lot. Our flight was canceled, so he helped us modify our original booking. Breakfast was also great here - everything was freshly prepared and I was always looking forward to the changes over the days.

Shailendra and his wife took excellent care of our group, especially when I was sick. This was my second time staying there and I would be thrilled to be able to visit again.

Gorgeous terrace and beautiful view overlooking Krishna Temple and Stupa. Run by gorgeous who gave so much advice and helped us. Breakfast was delicious, made vegan for us. Surprisingly quiet at night, but lot of action and things going on below. Great spot to do walks around the old city and the mountain views were all around. We did yoga from the highest terrace, which was almost the highest point. Highly recommend staying here.

Nothing, I was sad to leave

Nepali hospitality at its finest. The hotel is owned by a friendly family who did their best to make me feel at home. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the location is perfect, the breakfast delicious and plentiful and the rooftop garden is gorgeous. Fantastic stay.

The neighbourhood can get quiet very early. If you’re returning late everything nearby will likely be closed.

The neighbourhood is very charming, and the accommodation has a cozy vibe. It’s a peaceful spot, but walking distance to the Patan Durbar Square. There’s a lot of good food within walking distance and the breakfast at the hotel is also great. The owner Shailendra is very knowledgeable and up for a good conversation.

Hotel in the center of Patan, excellent for visiting hall the different temple around, whit a big variety of restaurant and bar around to enjoy. The Host and his family are really friendly, nice to speak whit them in the morning while having breakfast on the beautiful terrace on the top of the building, where you can enjoy also the view of Patan and If lucky also the mountain around Kathmandu.

Cleanliness on the whole was good but a slight smell coming from the drain in the bathroom I think? But didn’t effect me too much

Lovely location. Good size room and facilities. Great effort and exceptional hospitality from the owner and staff. Sheilandra made my stay at Tajaa Pha delightful. Going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and happy. Making be a snack when I arrived late and no restaurants were open. Offering a lovely breakfast every morning on their rooftop terrace and providing a great laundry service too.

There's no lift, so it can be pretty tiring getting up to the top floors. Help was provided for luggage though.

This a family-run hotel. Guest are given personal attention so it's ideal for the solo traveller needing help with taxis and bus reservations. The hotel overlooks Pimbahal pokari - a pond next to a Buddhist stupa. It's a lovely view, with plenty of activity to observe. Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace and guests can use the kitchen for other meals.

Overall very happy with my stay and would recommend to those considering staying here! Be aware that laundry services are available but may return in a couple of days.

I stayed for 4 weeks from Jan-Feb while working in Patan Hospital. Shailendra was a fabulous host! Tajaa Pha felt like a home away from home. Shailendra even helped to arrange transportation for traveling I did within the Kathmandu Valley. The central location in Pimbahal is very convenient and close to both cultural sites like Patan Durbar Square and many restaurant options. Hot water was plentiful. Electric blankets available for chilly evenings. I highly recommend staying here!

Room can be a bit cold this time of year and shower water is cold for about a minute before heat kicks in.

Very central location to food, patan durbar square, etc. Access to a gorgeous rooftop. The host, shailendra, was very welcoming and helped to arrange touring activities for us.

The breakfast was amazing. I was served a different a different breakfast for each of my five mornings at Tajaa Pha, each one being tasty and unique. It was a two-course breakfast with coffee and yoghurt/granola/fruit followed by a main course, eggs, bread and a variety of Nepali dishes. I especially liked the aloo parathas. Great coffee, too!

There's no lift.

This is a wonderful heritage house in Patan run by a family, a short walk from the Darbar square and in a lively but quiet old quarter of the town. It wasn't the kind of hotel we expected, but the totally personalized service won us over. The rooms were wonderful (a little overcrowded) but had everything: fridge, air conditioning, kettle, wifi, clean linen. But most of all it had the family who make and serve the breakfast, and help you in all kinds of ways.

This place is the best! We loved the view of the pond, the beautiful neighbourhood, the delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace and the comfy rooms. The hotel owner took great care of us and made us feel like home. Highly recommended!
