roomette

Small sleeper compartment

A roomette is a small private sleeping compartment on a train, typically equipped with a bed, seating, and basic amenities.

Roomettes are more compact than full bedrooms but offer privacy that open berths lack: We booked a roomette for the overnight journey to Chicago.

The term sometimes extends to similar compact accommodations in other contexts.
