Where to stay in Karlshov
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Rooms belong to Norrköping. Karlshov is a district inside that city and carries no hotel quarter of its own, so the practical choice is which part of Norrköping to sleep in rather than which street in Karlshov. The distinction matters little. Skarphagen, Vilbergen and Östra Eneby sit in the same position on the city's list of districts, and a bed anywhere in Norrköping keeps all of them within an ordinary city journey.
