What is proper way to say/write?
1) In the kitchen/hall/corridor
2) In a kitchen/hall/corridor
3) In kitchen/hall/corridor
?

Either of the first two and never the third. Using "the" means you are talking about a specific kitchen, hall, etc, while using "a" means you have not specified a particular one.
