Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from 'sleeping' (intended for sleep) modifying 'accommodation' (lodging), so the phrase denotes lodging specifically for sleeping. This modifier+noun composition is a regular, cross-linguistically common pattern in English, making the sense immediately inferable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Sleeping accommodation comes from putting sleeping, meaning 'to rest', and accommodation, meaning 'a place to stay', together. So it gives a clear picture of a space made mainly for sleeping, which is why it means a room or area for sleeping in hotels, trains, or other short-term places.
