    Small piece of advice from personal experience - get a dehumidifier! The room is very small, humidity is dangerously high with bathrooms for obvious reasons, and you can't rely on a single means to get rid of condensate. There are specialty units for bathrooms, but I'd recommend you go for one with a bigger capacity. Not as big as a basement dehumidifier cause you'd be wasting space and it wouldn't work to its full potential, but nothing too small cause it won't remove as much moisture as you need.
    The room should have a proper extractor fan, venting to air outside the building.   It's a basic need to meet building regulations.   

    Ones that have humidity sensors and continue to run for as long as they detect high humidity are best.  
    I usually open the window as well as run the extractor fan, I know it's not idea and always practical.
    However I never considered a dehumidifier, I thought an extractor fan is sufficient.
    Is a strong extractor fan venting air outside the building not also dehumidifying the bathroom?
