How to replace rusted bathroom door hinges?

Hi I need to replace these rusty bathroom door hinges and have two questions:

 

-What's the best way to remove them/what tools do I need?

-What sort of door hinges are best to replace them with?

 

The width is 2.5 and height is 3.5cm. Thanks in advance!

If you can find a stainless steel one in the same size that would be ideal. I propose using
