Economy Room 18sqm
Standard 28sqm
Deluxe High Floor 28sqm
Trip advisor has some travellers photos of rooms that show there is quite a difference, I suspect the lack of furniture and the closeness of the sole bed to the window indicates this to be an economy one: http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/med.../hong-kong.jpg

Use F&F if you can do without the points

HI Golden Mile, HK
Well, I didn't like this property when it was the (old) Hyatt Regency and like it even less as a HI. One night stand, on points plus $60. No breakfast, HK$149 for internet, even as a PLT/AMB, and of course no views. All I can say positive about the place is that it is close to MTR/Star Ferry. Otherwise, I'd pass on it.

With IC, you have to buy a breakfast rate to get breakfast. I would guess you were upgraded to a newer room at least. If you would have happened to be on a paid rate and purchaed the premier room then you should be upgraded to a exec floor room and the lounge is actually pretty nice IMO. The hotel isnt great but I wouldnt pass because of no breakfast. There are zero views though but that is not important to us but anyone that wants a nice view then this would not fit the bill.

I'd give it a miss in future because its rooftop pool looks great in photos ... and isn't heated! What a total waste of everyone's money, much of the year. They should close it when it's useless, not pay someone to clean it and watch over it. Plus, the saunas and steam rooms are sex-segregated and tiny. (Additionally, all of those facilities are unavailable to anyone in a wheelchair, as the top floor can only be accessed by a flight of stairs!)
Overall, very poor for the price they charge.

HIEx Causeway Bay
Yeah, I stayed there for a few nights and thought it was pretty worthless of a hotel.
If I'm looking for a cheap and easy hotel, I prefer to stay in the HIEx in Causeway Bay. It is usually cheaper, you get free breakfast (crappy, but still free), free internet, and the location is damn good. Also, for some reason, my room in HIEx was actually bigger than the room given to me in HI Golden Mile in December!

Just completed a points stay. A lot of points, but also a lot of $$ at the cash rate! Perfectly happy with a comfortable room, terrific location, very late check-out and chocolates in my room. Asked about free internet: the reply was very graceful and a tad unclear but i guessed at a "no" 
They were very efficient in storing and retrieved baggage for my return from a side-trip. That sounds a trivial exercise, but it's one that hotels routinely mess up.
