Has any reader been to Kathmandu or can recommend a "decent" hotel to stay in?

I have scoured the Net for info on Kathmandu accommodations but all I get is a listing and links to the hotels. Not terribly helpful in determining what kind of accommodation one might expect.

Asiatravel.com lists Blue Star Hotel and Ambassador Hotel but I have no idea what they're like.

Help!
