Badezimmer (oder separate Toilette)


Explanation:
People frequently refer to "bathroom" if they talk about the toilet. It sounds as if this bathroom is a separate toilet with a "toilet shower" (which I would translate as good French deutsch with "Bidet").

Otherwise the constellation of having the toilet basin in the bathroom (wiht shower and bath tub) is "Badezimmer".

agree  Geri Linda Metterle: I would say in this case only Badezimmer, as there is a toilet in the bathroom :)

disagree  patpending: if you think toilet shower is a synonym of bidet, may I suggest you get a plumber to reduce your water pressure :)

Gästetoilette


Explanation:
Sounds as if this bathroom does not have a shower and/or tub. In this case it is probably an additional room, which is commonly referred to as "Gästetoilette" in German, whereas the bathroom consisting of toilet, basin and shower/tub is referred to as "Badezimmer".
