I've had a drimaster eco heat arrive today.

its the DRI-ECO-HEAT-HC

My bathroom is the room thats suffering from condensation and some black mould growth. the room has a fan that run 24/7, boosts when it senses humidity.

Should I put this in the bathroom, or the hallway just outside?

Then I'd put it in the hallway

If your bathroom already has a 24/7 extractor fan, adding a drimaster is probably not going to do very much.
You should look at where all the moisture is coming from and the whole heating/ventilation/insulation situation.

It could be the whole house is humid and your bathroom is simply the coolest room in the house, so it attracts all the condensation?
It could be your bathroom fan is making the right noises but not actually shifting any air?

Some people put vast amounts of moisture into their houses with cooking, drying clothes. wet room type showers etc etc, it takes a great deal of heat and/or airflow to shift that kind of dampness.
