Just to give some perspective:
When I brought Serafina and Gaga home, I put them in the secluded guest bedroom, and they ran under the bed and cowered under there for the first 12 hours or so. I hung out in the room, quietly, and occasionally danged a toy down there to try to peak their interest. They gradually started emerging from under the bed to check things out, usually to quickly retreat back under the bed when anything didn't seem right to them. I think this sort of thing continued for another day or so, after which they very slowly started to get to know me, learn that I wasn't a threat, and that I produced good food and comfort to them, and then things progressed from there. They were in that "safe room" for a number of days before I let them venture out to other parts of the house.
Neytiri was somewhat similar except even more shy and shell-shocked. All she wanted to do was curl in a fetal position for the first 12 hours or so, and really didn't want to come out from under the bed for a couple days. Then she proceeded to be the cuddliest, friendliest, most affectionate cat (towards me anyway) that I've ever had.
So like others have said, from your description you really haven't done your kitten any favors by just dropping him into the middle of a big (high traffic? noisy?), scary room. And your expectations are not realistic.
