First of all, you should know what the "bathroom" is. In American English, the "bathroom" is the room in a house or building which has a toilet, a sink, and sometimes a bath or shower. In other countries, this room is not called a "bathroom". For example, Canadians call it a "washroom".
In British English, it's called the "loo" or the "WC". You may also hear the phrase "restroom", which is a more polite word for "bathroom" in American English.
