A short question can help you find a bathroom in a café or another public place.
The idea
Ask ¿Dónde está el baño? for its location. A la derecha means on the right, a la izquierda on the left and al fondo at the end. Aseo can also mean toilet.
Examples
- Perdone, ¿dónde está el baño?Excuse me, where is the bathroom?
- Está al fondo, a la derecha.It is at the end, on the right.
- Los baños están junto a la entrada.The bathrooms are next to the entrance.
- ¿Hay un aseo en esta cafetería?Is there a toilet in this café?
- Sí, está en la primera planta.Yes, it is on the first floor.
- Gracias, ya veo la puerta a la izquierda.Thank you, I can see the door on the left now.
