Why did you put "quieres" in your title if you're simply looking for the word "bedroom?"
Here are some ways to say it ("recámara" is popular in Mexico)...
bedroom
- dormitorio (m) habitación (f) (in house)recámara (f) (CAm, español de Colombia, español de México); habitación (f) cuarto (m) (Am)recámara (f) (CAm, español de Colombia, español de México) (in hotel)
Welcome to the forum! 
("dormitorio" is less used)
This is another one of those things that baffles me regarding the teaching of Spanish in school (here in America)
In high school I was taught that the word for bedroom was dormitorio, and that was the only word that we were taught for this.
I have never heard bedroom referred to as dormitorio by any of my Spanish speaking friends, family or relatives.
In my experience, they have, invariably, referred to as cuarto

Are you insinuating that Mexicans are not formal at all, or that everyone in Spain is too formal? The former insinuation one would be insulting for many Mexicans; the latter would be absurd and misinformed.
Now, going back to the bedroom thing, most people I know from Spain, when they go to their bedroom, they say "Me voy a mi cuarto", and sometimes "a mi habitación" ("dormitorio" is less used), like in many other parts of Latin America.
I wonder who started this ridiculous myth of the existence of two kinds of Spanish, each one on each side of the Atlantic.
Oh, and let's not forget "alcoba."
Cuarto is popular in Puerto Rico tambien.
The popular way is the cuarto (in Mexico). In Spain it's a habitacion, but a hotel room is a dormitorio.
