During my two weeks in Nepal I stayed at two hotels in Kathmandu, both at different price points, I will also add in the hotel my friend stayed at, because it looked amazing.
One thing to note is that heating isn't exactly "common" in some of these places, even at Hotel Vajra, where I paid $60/night and is considered a nicer place to stay I didn't have a great heating system. But my friend who stayed at Hotel Courtyard had awesome wifi and heat for the same price.
Hotel Magnificent View - Located in Thamel (the area you'll most likely want to stay in, since its close to shops, restaurants and attractions), its a good place to stay if you're on a budget, it averages about $25 a night. The breakfast was pretty good, plus its off the main road so its relatively quiet - there is a lot of residential noise in the building though. The Wifi was great, the rooms are quite large and staff are excellent. Heat not so much. Breakfast is included.

Hotel Courtyard - Located right in the heart of Thamel, this place is an awesome find, a quick walk to shops, restaurants and the bar scene. It is like a slice of heaven in the middle of a chaotic city. If I ever find myself back in Kathmandu I am definetly staying here. I even met one of the owners and she was so nice !!
There are sooooo many places to stay in Kathmandu, something for every budget.
