the decoration of this place was really nice and beautiful... but the worse is..."BEDBUGS"............ More

Clean basic dorms, with good sized beds, although I did have to share my dorm with a big ol' cockroach the first night. There was no window in my dorm, and only one socket. Showers all very clean, but there wasn't always toilet roll available so be prepared! Good location very close to the night market. No sign of bed... More

My friend and I stayed in a few places in KK, and this was the best budget option we found. There are some cheaper places around town, but the Step In has a great location and it's a lot cleaner.

When I told the front desk staff, they were totally uninterested and didn't even offer send my clothes and sleeping sheet out to be washed (which is pretty much a standard practice... More

Without going into war and peace, there is only one thing to sum up Step-in Lodge - faultless. The reception and common area are awesome, inviting, welcoming and friendly with the staff there (Karen and her crew) treating you like you're one of their own. They make a point of remembering your name and helping you out with anything you... More
