How do you say Where is your restroom?

Question

Okay, I just would like to know how to say Where is your restroom?

In my house the restrooms are called bedrooms. The "other" place has lots of names.:) - ian-hill, Apr 25, 2010

Answer 1

Hi there, I am a native English speaker and I would never ever use the word 'restroom' for anything other than a bathroom. I would never 'rest' in a restroom. Sorry, I don't think I have ever heard restroom used for a 'sala de estar' ever. I even thought I would check out the translator and lo and behold - it was right! 'baño' 'servicio'. Therefore I would like to submit that the original question 'where is your restroom' be interpreted as 'dónde está el baño'.

I agree. "Restroom" is just a polite way of saying "bathroom." - --Mariana--, Apr 25, 2010

Correct! Imagine showing someone to the living room when he'd just asked for the rest room! Major confusion!! - tennismom, Apr 25, 2010

I have lived in England fo 43 year now and have never heard of it being referred to as a rest room we always call a bathroom a bathroom maybe restroom iis an americanism> - FELIZ77, Apr 25, 2010

Honestly I can't remember anyone using that expression either, maybe it is old fashioned..... - margaretbl, Apr 26, 2010

Answer 2

Considero que "¿Dónde esta su/tu baño?" es buena opción, es común usar esa forma aqui en México.

"esta" debe tener un acento sobre la 'a' ("esta" should have an accent on the 'a') - MeEncantanCarasSonrisas, Apr 25, 2010

Answer 3

Welcome to the forum

¿Dónde está el servicio / el baño/?

Answer 4

¿Dónde está su/tu baño?

"su" is used when asking someone you are not familiar with or someone you want to show respect to

"tu" is used for someone you are familiar with

Answer 5

Also very common anywhere is, ¿Dónde está el WC (Doble-U Ce)?

This is not common at all in the U.S. - --Mariana--, Apr 25, 2010

I guess I should have said "most anywhere." I've even seen it in Russia in Latin letters! - 005faa61, Apr 25, 2010

Answer 6

If you're in a hurry "¿Tiene bano?" usually works.

Answer 7

Where is your restroom? By that do you mean the bathroom? Everyone else here seems to have translated your sentance as such... In which case it would be

¿Dónde está el baño? = Where is the bathroom?

However, if, by the restroom, you are really meaning "Where is the room where you can relax?" you can say :

¿Dónde está la sala? = Where is the living room ? (lounge)

Finally, if you literally mean a room where you can rest in quiet /sleep you should ask

¿Dónde está la sala de descansar? " Or better still, "¿Hay una sala /un dormitorio aquí donde puedo descansar/dormir?

It would really help alot next time if you clearly described the situation in which you want to use the sentance you are asking someone to translate .eg..Are you at work or in someone's private home? There are many English phrases from England and USA that would no equivalent in spanish that is, they simply wouldn't say it or at other times would phrase it in a different way.
