Thanks for all your replies! it seems indeed that the Scandinavia hotel would be a nicer place on my way to LYR with Ms Ranskis however, I have also come across some good offers at the Grand Hotel Oslo, which is a Rica hotel. Unfortunately it seems there is no possibility to use points on my night in Oslo but for a latter date, do you know if there is any chance to redeem EB points on that one and if so... and how does it rank versus Radisson Scandinavia? I could certainly get upgraded at Radisson but certainly not in Grand Hotel...
