IMH it is usually called bathroom when you are at home or at a friend's or relative's home. But in a public establishment it is called a restroom.
You can say whatever you wish but why have to declare where you are going in the first place. Just a simple "excuse me" is sufficient or just walk away and visit the throne room. Don't forget to take the Charmin.

I would ask "Where is the ladies' room" If its a man asking, it would be "Where is the men's room"

I was like "you're kidding me, right?"
So i said i need to go for a wee!!! Ah, restroom she said
Jeez, we got there in the end, but a toilet is a toilet, not a room where you rest.
At least in OZ they know what a toilet is.
