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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

There's no lift.

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.

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!

We stayed 3 nights in this home, we loved everything. The room was very spacious comfortable and very well equipped. Good powerful shower and the breakfast in the terrace was excellent. Wifi works very well too. Shailendra receives you with a big smile and he can help with whatever you might need. Everyone was so nice and kind. We were very happy with the choice of location as it is a beautiful square and very calm. Short walk to Patan Darbar Square and easy taxi ride to Kathmandu and all the sights. We highly recommend this place and we hope to be back very soon!

Is impossible to find something not to like! They will for sure make you comfortable and happy!
