Spanish Phrase
Sí. ¿A qué hora y en qué habitación?
Meaning
The speaker first confirms something with a clear “yes”, then immediately asks for two pieces of information: the exact time and the specific room where something will take place.
When to use

Cultural Tip
In Spain and many Latin American countries, "habitación" usually refers to a bedroom or private room, while "sala" or "salón" is more common for meeting spaces. Choose the word that matches the setting: use "sala" for a conference room, "aula" for a classroom, and "habitación" only if the location is a private room.
