Adding a bathroom linen closet, where would you put the door?

One word: Pocket Door

I love pocket doors but can't see how it would work in this case. There is no wall to slide the door into.

Would some type of roll-up door work?

One word: Pocket Door

oh well, make that 2 words. Swinging door either way is going to eventually conflict with traffic and either be a bloody nose for one patron, or at the minimum a clash for one.
Folding doors seldom hold up all that well. Historically, mine have either begun to hang up when opening, or don't close completely very well. Maybe mine were just the cheap models, I don't know...

Pocket doors, while take a good deal more work to install, are great space savers. Consider how much area swinging doors require to be reserved, and the cost per square foot of your home, and you'll see the economics of them as well as the convenience.

I had to look it up. I installed 3 in 1984-5. Only one had a problem and that was a double bifold (6') that one side came off the track. Put that back on track and no other problems since.

Bifolds take up very little space when opened. I have a narrow hallway and the closet bifold only sticks out past the molding 2', one can still get by it in the hallway.

Why do you need a door? Leave it open or hang a curtain in front of it.
