Explanation

조식 is a hotel-style word for breakfast. 조식이 몇 시예요? asks what time breakfast is served.

몇 시예요? asks for a clock time. At a hotel, it is a straightforward question to ask at reception or read on an information card.

아침 식사 is another, more general phrase for breakfast. In ordinary conversation, 아침을 먹었어요? asks whether someone ate breakfast.

A useful follow-up is 어디에서 먹어요? “Where do we eat?” when the hotel has several floors or restaurants.

How to practice

  1. 조식 is especially common in hotel contexts.
