xishoujian is more polite, cesuo is spoken chinese.

Ce suo is comparatively vulgar. Xishoujian is kind of tactful. They are both spoken and written Chinese, I think.

you are right, "xishoujian" means a place to wash your hand. so it is more polte expression
but you can use both of them in daily life
