Notes

Even though it looks like this word is plural (i.e. referring to many bathrooms) since it ends with "s" , it is actually singular (i.e. only talking about one bathroom). The use of "s" is that this is a room for taking many baths. Note too that you may sometimes see a version of this word without an "s", salle de bain, but the version here with the "s" is the much more common form (and therefore arguably the more correct form).

Summary
