Would it be donde es el baño?

I heard one person say something with que in front of it when they asked.

When and why would you put que in front of it?

Está, not es, since the bathroom is a place, not a special event.

updated Nov 20, 2010posted by lorenzo9I thought esta means "this" like esta es mi amigo is this is my friend. Can you explain? - thunder098098, Nov 18, 2010Esta means this, está is a conjugated form of estar, es is a conjugated form of ser. Locations of places use estar rather than ser. - lorenzo9, Nov 18, 20101vote

I was always taught to say ¿Dónde estan los servicios? I think ¿Dónde esta el baño? would mean Where is the bath?, as in the bath tub itself. Perhaps it is the European vs American regionalism, like in English. I'd ask where the toilets are rather than the bathroom/washroom.
