washbasin
Hand-cleaning vessel
A washbasin is a bowl or sink, typically with running water and a drain, used for washing hands and face.
In American English, it usually refers to a bathroom sink, while British English may use it for both fixed bathroom fixtures and portable basins.
The term is somewhat old-fashioned in the US, where sink is more common.
The hotel room had a small washbasin in the corner.
