it’s still a Cathay Pacific Lounge though CX no longer operates HKG-KUL vv.
Moreover, the two brands are being unified under a single name and logo... which makes the logo a very important aspect of the lounges and aircrafts. I’d imagine there being more emphasis to the logo than the text at the lounge entrances as it is more inclusive of KA.

Was there two days ago and tried the shower room. The toilet was not flushed! After taking the shower, I dried myself. At first it seems the towels are really fluffy, but I soon realise that it is leaving cotton fibres all over me. I reported both to the lounge front desk, but beware. Also, I think the Sodexo staff are a lot slower in general.
Even the KHH lounge is now called "Cathay Pacific Lounge," which doesn't even make much sense to me.

Same here...
Visited the lounge and was unimpressed, felt it was very busy (likely due to proximity with security/passport check). I much prefer the Pier, quite a stretch to get there but much more relaxed atmosphere.

I have been looking forward to this lounge but it’s disappointing to hear comments about it being quite busy. I wonder how QF lounge would compare at the same times.

I was there last Thur afternoon. The background music was noisy, and it was very crowded. Maybe it was due to the pre-Easter rush but seems it has been busy generally. Overall, I was not impressed (maybe I had a high expectation going there). Agreed, the Pier is much better.

I was not impressed with my quick visit here last week although I have full understanding of the limited footprint for this lounge. My veteran +1 with regular enclaves comparable to mine (or even further i.e. LHR T5 CCR) was literally about to drag me out just 10 minutes or so after our arrival.
The Sodexo-ed noodles (tried two varieties) were similar if not worse to offerings by PPL/Pen.
It's a shame that outlets were lacking at the terrace portion although that might mean easy movement of furniture for (whatever function that requires) large empty spaces.
Lockers really rock tho. If I had a layover/some time to chill at HKG but want to stay at the lower gates, I don't need to hike to Pier J anymore to store my bags. If only Wing F/Pier F have them as well......

Was at this lounge a few days ago. Agree with most comments that it can get quite busy but for the most part, I was able to find a seat with my wife and relax. I believe it gets busy due to the smaller footprint when compared to The Wing or The Pier.
Noodle bar and food options are similar -- nothing spectacular but nothing terrible either (at least for me).
Overall I rate The Pier the best CX lounge but I wouldn't mind staying at The Deck if the gate for my flight is near this lounge.
