Nope. There's no differentiation.
But "die Toilette" or "das Klo" is more common anyway.

That word has the same root as the English word "ale". But it is not very specific in Swedish. A more slang-like word that you will easily remember is "bira" or "bärs" that obviously derive from the word beer (or the original root of the word "beer" most likely).
