The idea
Enden (to end) is a regular verb: es endet. An oder-question offers two options and needs no question word. Abräumen (to clear away) is separable and appears here in the passive: wird abgeräumt. Sollten expresses advice, softer than müssen. Einplanen (to allow for) is separable. Neben + dative gives a fixed location: neben der Rezeption.
Other ways to say it
“Bis wann kann man morgens frühstücken?” – Neutral, general question about breakfast hours.
“Muss man um zehn schon fertig sein?” – Asks directly whether you must have finished by then.
Examples
- Endet um zehn der Einlass oder das Frühstück?Does entry end at ten, or does breakfast finish then?
- Um zehn wird das Buffet abgeräumt.The buffet is cleared at ten.
- Dann sollten wir deutlich vorher kommen.Then we should come well before that.
- Ja, planen Sie genug Zeit zum Essen ein.Yes, allow enough time to eat.
- Wo findet das Frühstück morgen statt?Where will breakfast take place tomorrow?
- Im Raum rechts neben der Rezeption.In the room to the right of reception.

Watch out
“Im Raum rechts neben die Rezeption.” → “Im Raum rechts neben der Rezeption.”: Neben is a two-way preposition. For a fixed position, as here, it takes the dative: neben der Rezeption. The accusative is only for movement: Stell den Koffer neben die Rezeption.
