Actually it depends... More expensive hotels have bigger rooms. Ever visited a friend staying in Pan Pacific Hong Kong (in Kowloon). Its toilet almost three quarter the size of a regular HDB flat.

I ever stayed in budget hotels in HK (budget means about S$140 per night..). Room is pathetically small. Other than the bed, no walking space.

Maybe the hotels where the rest stay are meant for tourists, hence the larger rooms and more standard facilities...

But by and large... Due to lack of buildable land in Hongkong, common folk homes and buildings that the locals are used to are generally very very small... Something like their "large" kitchen, is about just enough to fit one or 2 people, no more...

While here, we're used to calling 4 bedroom apartments at 1400 to 1500 sq ft small, for them a similar 4 bedroom apartment is about 1000 or 1200 or even less, that's in like downtown area or the old territories... But I heard newer developments there are beginning to get larger la... But those are sometimes priced out of reach of the "bai3 xing4" or common folk...
