The room which contains the bath is the bathroom.

Assuming that the toilet is in the same room as the bath is parochial.

If he wants the toilet, “bathroom” is a euphemism, and he should instead
ask for directions to the toilet.

"Toilet" is also a euphemism, as are "water closet", "WC", "loo", etc.
