Which Rainbow Hotel? Rainbow Hotel Terminus!

Previous emails indicated that we would be staying at the Rainbow Hotel Astoria at Dronningens Gate 21, about 3 blocks west of Oslo S.

It turns out that the Rainbow Astoria is going to be closed much of next July (one of its night clerks is an OAS alumna who clued me in), so we have moved our reservations to the Rainbow Hotel Terminus. The Rainbow Terminus is a slightly better hotel (3 stars vs. 2.5 stars for the Rainbow Astoria) and slightly more expensive.

For prepaid reservations through http://www.nwa.com (click on Reservations Center/Hotels), the current rate is $130 per night for doubles, $104 for singles, plus a tax & service fee that runs about 5.5%. Full breakfast is included.

The Rainbow Terminus is somewhat better situated at Stenersgata 10 -- only half a block off the route that those in the Anker Hostel will be taking to Jernbanetorget or Oslo S. to start each day's activities.

I will place maps showing the locations of Anker Hostel & the Rainbow Hotel Terminus in a separate posting.
