I would make his Danger Sense roll as he walks into the room, but (if the roll succeeds) I wouldn't necessarily tell the player right away that he senses danger, depending on what else is in the room. Obviously, if there's a monster in the room, or something else to occupy their immediate attention, I wouldn't bring it up right away.

A PC walks into a room containing a sleeping monster. Does Danger Sense ping?

No. Danger Sense is (in my book) for enemies lying in ambush, impending disaster, falling rocks, and so on. It is not Monster Radar.

A PC walks into a room. Behind one of the doors leading out of the room is a room full of Orcs. The Orcs don't know that the PC is there and have no present intention of leaving their room, but if they do see the PC, they will attack. Does Danger Sense ping?

No. If the Orcs attack with full surprise, the PC gets a chance to roll for Danger Sense. Again, it is not Monster Radar.
