In formal writing, replace ‘dispo’ with ‘disponible’ or ‘ouvert’. ‘Dispo’ is slang.

Some learners write ‘24/7’, which is English; in French use ‘24 h/24 h’ or ‘24 heures sur 24’.

Cultural Tip
‘Dispo’ is a colloquial abbreviation of ‘disponible’; it’s perfectly fine in spoken French or informal writing, but in formal hotel communication you’d use ‘disponible’ or ‘ouvert’. The ‘24h/24’ format is common in French advertising to stress round‑the‑clock service, while ‘24 h/24 h’ or ‘24 / 7’ (borrowed from English) are also understood.
