7h (heure)
In French, the hour is written with the number followed by the letter “h” (for “heure”). No space is placed before the “h”.
du (de + le)
“du” is the contraction of the preposition “de” and the definite article “le”. Here it links the hour to the part of the day.
matin
Used after a time to specify the morning (as opposed to “du soir” for the evening).
chambre + number
When giving a location inside a building, “chambre” (room) is followed directly by the room number, without “n°” in spoken French.
Comma placement
A comma separates the time from the location, mirroring the pause you would make when speaking.

Cultural Tip
French speakers almost always use the 24‑hour clock in written schedules, so “7h” means 7 a.m. (not 7 p.m.). When you want to be extra clear, you can add “du matin” (or “du soir”). In spoken French, the hour is usually said as “sept heures”. Also, room numbers are pronounced digit by digit: “deux‑cent‑dix” → “deux‑cent‑dix”.
