Non-meal tipping customs (hotel, driver, etc)

So despite my previous thread asking about some lower cost hotels, I ended up booking IC and Upper House for my upcoming trip to Hong Kong. After reading a lot on this board and thinking about it, decided to do a nice hotel the whole time.

I have read a bunch about tipping, and searched the board, but almost everything relates to restaurants. What about tipping in other situations? Specifically, the driver of the hotel transportation to/from airport, bellhop that delivers baggage to room, etc? Is it same amount as I would usually tip converted to HKD? Or is there some other rule I should know so as to not be blacklisted by hotel staff?

Thanks!
