Home made delicious breakfast prepared by the owner, tips about hike and treks and other local spots. it was like a home atmosphere. Rooms are spacious. some. Ours was with a balcony.
Tajaa Pha SHOULD be using a photo from their rooftop garden as their hero-pic....! It's where had a lovely breakfast each day, served by Saiendra our excellent host, and his daughter Shia. We loved this view - just far enough above the noisy maelstrom that is Kathmandu. And - in SUCH a great part of this city - Patan, the old kingdom, which we came to know quite well - from the brilliant Patan Museum, to the junior ping-pong comp we stumbled across one evening. Cannot speak highly enough - our hosts were always at call - from a broken light-globe, to changing money, to ordering cabs. We would DEFINITELY stay here again. A memorable time.....!
I stayed at the Tajaa Pha for 17 nights while attending workshops and meetings in Kathmandu. The location is superb because many good restaurants are within a short walking distance and the major tourist sights of Patan are also very close by. Best of all, you will be staying with very nice people that will take great care of you. I truly enjoyed my breakfast talks with the hotel owner (BTW, breakfast is very tasty...fruit salad, muesli, masala omelette and if you get lucky, home baked goodies). Overall, if you like to stay away from the hassle of central Kathmandu's Thamel area, then you will find the Tajaa Pha a great alternative.I look forward to my next stay!
