Abstract

Transit hotels provide short-term accommodation for passengers between transportation schedules, requiring rest and minimal entertainment facilities before continuing their journey. Unlike conventional hotels, no explicit standards govern the layout, space-filling, and decorative elements of transit hotel bedrooms, particularly in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze how these three elements are applied in Indonesian transit hotel bedrooms and how they correspond to visitor activities, behavior, and needs. A descriptive qualitative method was used, employing a comparative case study of three transit hotels representing different transportation nodes: an airport hotel, a train station hotel, and a toll-road rest-area hotel. Data were collected through direct observation, staff interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using a servicescape framework. The results show that room layout and furnishing must be adapted to the duration of stay and visitor profile rather than following a single standard. Decorative elements enhance the perceived liveliness of the space; airport hotels, bound by star-hotel classification, offer more complete space-filling elements, while station and rest-area hotels, which fall outside formal star classification, adopt more minimal, space-efficient configurations such as pod rooms.
