Across all four occurrences, the noun identifies a room reached or used as a distinct interior location. In Acts 1:13 the APB renders that those entering “went up” to the room where they were staying; in Acts 20:8 it is the place where the group was gathered, and Acts 9:37 and Acts 9:39 place the deceased woman and Peter there.
