Grammar note
“Die Toilette” is feminine, so the question is “Wo ist die Toilette?”. For the bathroom at home, use “das Bad”, which is neuter.
Common mistake
Don't say “Wo ist das Toilette?”. The article is “die”, because “Toilette” is feminine. Also, at a friend's home, “Wo ist das Bad?” is more natural.
