Two sided privacy door knob for connecting door

I'm looking for a door knob set that can be locked from either side
without a key, for basically the same situation as described here:
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090606193440AAcXnvc
(i.e. door between bedroom and bathroom, both rooms also have doors
to landing, so someone who goes into bathroom from landing can lock
out the bedroom user, and vice versa, or bedroom user can lock the
bathroom landing door and use it as an en-suite.
If someone locks the door from one side and forgets to unlock it
beore leaving by landing door, someone on the other side can go
round using both landing doors so there's no need for the "insert
pin/screwdriver here" override on a standard bathroom knob.
In my case, the landing doors exist, the connecting door is still
hypothetical.)
Anyone got any more helpful suggestions on what I should be searching for?

between rooms in an hotel, although, IME, they are as likely as not
simply to have a sliding bolt on both sides of the door. Sliding bolts
have the advantage that they only need a simple visual check to see
whether or not the door is locked.

irrespective of which side it had been locked from, which I don't think

Ones that have a "locked" indicator on both sides are more reassuring.

have to break the door down in the event of granny having a fall you can
either saw and soft solder or just epoxy the catch side down.
The objective being to prevent an accidental opening of the door but
always allow you access without too much brute force in an emergency.

Speaking for myself I much prefer a solution where the door can be seen
to be locked (or not) without trying it.
But it's a minefield, for sure.

Use two separate (one each way) on the bedroom door, if it's desired to also lock the bedroom door against people entering from landing via the bathroom.
If a more 'on demand' arrangement is desired then electronic circuits are available for twin maglocks for jack-and-jill bathrooms, enabling access from either end but prohibiting through access.

Perhaps you should adopt the solution apparently used by many university
halls of residence, my kids tell me.
They use a layout where two single rooms share one en-suite bathroom,
accessed by a door either side. These doors have a lock on the outside for
security purposes, but not on the inside - no doubt the powers that be have
rightly surmised that the occupant of room A would regularly lock the door
to room B while using the bathroom, and then go out for the day leaving the
bathroom inaccessible to the occupant of room B.
So the doors have no inside locks, and it's left to the occupants to decide
how best to avoid disturbing each other while taking a dump
(notwithstanding that the accomodation may well be mixed sex.)
My daughter took one look at this arrangement and selected a different
university!

would certainly have known, closed a couple of years ago. Now you
mention it, I don't recall when I last used an hotel that didn't use key
card locks, so an electronic lock on an interconnecting door would make
sense for them.
