The rooms with courtyard view are not good. Courtyard is a messy backyard, no nice view. Bathroom is inadequate, to shower you need to stand squashed between the toilet and basin. The rooms with stupa view are lovely.

Friendly helpful interesting host and his wife was excellent cook. Good breakfast with variety. A quiet place in middle of busy noisy Kathmandu.

I spent three wonderfully warm and pleasant nights here. Shailendra and his wife were gentle and kind, treating me like a dear elder and a long-lost friend. I cherished the breakfast time every morning. They welcomed me like family. Sitting by the balcony, savoring the delicious breakfast they prepared, watching the view, listening to the birds sing, and sharing unhurried conversations—this was exactly the meaning of my trip. Walking out from the hotel, there are many cafés nearby. A little further, you’ll find bookstores, supermarkets, and the beautiful traditional architecture of Patan. Compared to other areas of Kathmandu, Patan feels more peaceful and perfect for leisurely strolls. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe here. This place has left me with beautiful memories of Kathmandu. May we all enjoy life to the fullest in our own corners of the world. See you again.

Lovely Hotel in Patan with a rooftop terrace. The room was spacious, the service friendly and the breakfast delicious.

Shailendra-ji, who manages the hotel, truly makes it a special place. Shailendra-ji is highly professional and always ready to help. The location is excellent — just a short walk from the beautiful historic centre of Patan. We warmly recommend this excellent hotel. We've attached a photo we took from the hotel’s terrace.

It's a great place to stay. The owners of the hotel are very hospitable and helpful. Definitely recommend to get breakfast!

Everything was perfect.

This is the perfect place to stay in Patan, which BTW is much better than Kathmandu/Thamel in my opinion. The view onto the water tank with the temple and the stupa next to it is breathtaking! And Shailendra and his wife are incredibly nice and friendly. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, and you can have bottled water whenever you want from downstairs. I had the most delicious chick pea curry for breakfast in my life! I am very happy to have chosen this place.

We had a wonderful stay! The location is perfect, very central yet peaceful, making it easy to explore the area. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, always available to assist us with anything we needed. Breakfast was delicious, fresh, and a great way to start the day. Highly recommended — we would definitely come back!

A fantastic place to stay in central Patan! Wonderful hosts, who made us feel very welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay. Lovely big clean room, with all the facilities we needed. Amazing home cooked breakfast, with a lovely balcony and great views. Highly recommended staying at Tajaa Pha. Thank you for the wonderful stay, we hope to be back one day!

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.

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.
