✦Grammar Breakdown
¿Aquéhorasestáabiertoelvestuario?
¿A qué horas?
The interrogative phrase '¿A qué horas?' asks for specific times. It uses the preposition 'a' + interrogative 'qué' + plural 'horas' to request a schedule.
Estar + participio
Use 'estar' with the past participle to describe a temporary state. Here 'está abierto' means 'is open' (as opposed to the permanent characteristic expressed with 'ser').
Género del sustantivo
'Vestuario' is masculine, so the adjective 'abierto' must agree in gender (not 'abierta').
Uso de la tilde en 'qué'
In questions, the interrogative word 'qué' always carries an accent to distinguish it from the conjunction 'que'.
Orden de la pregunta
Spanish questions often start with the preposition + interrogative (a qué) followed by the verb and the subject, mirroring English 'At what time is...'.

✕Common Mistakes
¿A que horas está abierto el vestuario?
Missing accent on 'qué' changes the meaning; the interrogative must be 'qué'.
¿A qué hora está abierto el vestuario?
Using singular 'hora' suggests a single time; the question asks for a range, so plural 'horas' is appropriate.
¿A qué horas está abierta el vestuario?
The adjective must agree with the masculine noun 'vestuario', so it should be 'abierto', not 'abierta'.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries the word 'vestuario' is used for a locker or changing room in sports facilities, while 'camerino' refers to a backstage dressing room for performers. When speaking to staff, keep the question formal (using '¿A qué horas...?' rather than the very informal '¿A qué hora está el vestuario?'). Also, note that opening hours are often expressed in 24‑hour format in Spain and Latin America.
