How much are you willing to spend?

Do you want portability or performance?

Unless you are very rich, don't go the DSLR route just yet. I've seen a lot of people getting DSLR because of sudden urge, maybe because of work, maybe because of studies. But until you are really sure about taking photography as a hobby, get a decent prosumer camera first, learn all the basics about photography, then only jump to DSLR when you are financially and mentally prepared. DSLR is not a cheap investment, in fact it's not even an investment.

Digital Single Lens Reflex. In layman's words, camera which allows you to change lens.

Unless you don't close your door when you take your bath, or your bathroom is specifically designed with huge transparent glass windows, or maybe you couldn't see cameras like these "hiding" in the bathroom, I don't see how it's possible to spy with a DSLR.
