Before we move to Kathmandu, i wanna write the review of one of the best guesthouse we stayed in Nepal, Asmita B&B.
To recap, we stayed in Kathmandu for one night before we depart to EBC trek, and we stayed in Asmita B&B that night.
We're very happy with the room (spacious, bright, quiet, great location) and we decided to reserve another 2 nights (after trekking in EBC) as soon as we checked in to the room.
BUT!!!!
In the last night of trekking, we received an email from the host:
Asmita B&B

29 Nov 2012
Namaste Rachel,
We made a mistake in your reservation program. It seems on the 2nd of December we were already fully booked but our brother made a mistake forgot to update our agenda. We are really really sorry for our terrible mistake. Please kindly reconsider our situation.
Thank you,
Friendly Regards,
Dharma and Asmita
We were suppose to check in the next day (that's actually a few hours later), and this has ruin our plan.
By no choice, i reply the mail and ask them if anything that they can do, and i got the following reply.
Namaste Rachael, first of all thank you so much for your mail. On the 2nd Dec you can stay at our place, for the 3rd dec we will look for a nice place for you. You can have breakfast in our home, its on us. We are very sorry for the inconvinience we have caused you & once again thank you very much for your understanding. Friendly regards, Dharma and Asmita

We turn it down with thanks anyway, John and I both really don't wanna pack our stuff and move to another place after a night stay.
We ask help from Dhurba (another Dhurba, the travel agency boss) to arrange us a place to stay, he got us a room with USD25/night in a hotel standard room.
BUT!!!
It turn out to be one of the biggest regret i've ever made.
The hotel named Karma Hotel (staying in the place is a real karma), located in Thamel district.
Dark and wore room, haunted movie alike bathroom, dirty bed and stink. And the 'hotel' manage told us, that is their best room.
I'm not a picky person, but this is defo not a hotel room that worth USD25 / night.
Alright, goin to far, although Asmita B&B ruined our plan, perhaps we should just make 3 nights reserve directly, this is really a great guesthouse.

Why we love Asmita B&B?
1. Amazing room - clean, bright, cozy, comfort, quiet, and great how shower.
2. Location - in the most happening district of Kathmandu, Thamel, yet its located in the end of the noisy main street, so less noise, yet convenience to get everything and go everywhere.
3. Price - We get the best room of the guesthouse, USD25/night including simple breakfast, discount on more night stay.
The downsides.
1. No lift, we climb up to 4th floor every time we went out or came back.
2. No in-house restaurant, they only serve simple breakfast which included in the room fees.
