Attention, there is a slight difference between the three Chinese expressions for toilet:
– 厕所(cèsuǒ) is mostly used for public place, like in tourist sites, gardens, schools, or roadside toilets. And 公共厕所 (gōnggòng cèsuǒ, public toilet/lavatory) is printed often on the wall of the toilet, a separate building most of the time. Sometimes you can easily find the sign by the roadside with Chinese characters or English for toilet. If you are looking for it, you may ask:
** Qǐngwèn, nǎer yǒu cèsuǒ？
** 请 问，哪儿 有 厕所？
(Excuse me, where is the toilet?)

– 卫生间 (wèishēng jiān, sanitation - room) is mostly refered to the toilet inside buildings like hotels, restaurants, office buildings or private houses. If you are looking for it, you may ask:
** Qǐngwèn, xǐshǒu jiān zài nǎer？
** 请 问， 洗手 间 在 哪儿？
(Excuse me, where is the restroom?)

– 洗手间(xǐshǒu jiān, washing - hand - room). In Chinese hotels and private houses, bathtub and the toilet are in the same room. So when you ask “May I use your 洗手间(xǐshǒu jiān, washing room)?“, it means either just wash your hand or use the toilet. You may ask:
** wǒ kěyǐ yòng yíxià nǐ de xǐshǒu jiān ma？
** 我 可以 用 一下 你 的 洗手 间 吗？
(May I use your washing room?)

It is good enough to remember these toilet talk in Chinese. And there is a common Chinese euphemisms for “I want to use the toilet” , if you can say that fluently, it means have master the essence of Chinese language, as “Do as Chinese do when in China”:
** Duì bu qǐ, wǒ qù fāngbiàn yíxià。
** 对不起，我去 方便一下。(方便 fāngbiàn, convenience)
(Excuse me, I’ll go to the restroom for a while. )
