The Chronicle by Supercity Aparthotels

The Chronicle by Supercity Aparthotels Overview

First Impressions

Walking into The Chronicle by Supercity Aparthotels feels like stepping into a well-kept secret in the heart of the City. The building itself has this understated elegance — you know, the kind of place that doesn’t need to shout about being special because it just is. Located on Norwich Street, you’re literally surrounded by centuries of London history, with the Old Bailey just around the corner and St. Paul’s Cathedral practically on your doorstep. I mean, you can’t get much more central than this without actually sleeping in the Bank of England.

Location & Neighborhood

Honestly, the location is what makes this place shine — and couples seem to agree, rating it 9.1 for romantic getaways. You’re in the actual City of London (not just “London” like tourists say), which means you can walk to the Thames in about three minutes, catch a show at the Barbican, or grab a proper pint at one of those historic pubs that have been serving drinks since before America was even a thing. The Tube connections are brilliant too — you’ve got multiple lines within walking distance, so getting anywhere in London is actually painless.

The Apartment Experience

What I love about this four-star aparthotel is that each apartment feels like a proper home rather than just another hotel room. The kitchen setup is genuinely useful — not one of those token kitchenettes with a broken microwave. You can actually cook a decent meal if you want to, which is perfect when you’re staying for more than a couple of nights. The design strikes this nice balance between modern comfort and respecting the building’s character, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light (well, as much as London allows).

Dining & Amenities

While there isn’t a traditional hotel restaurant on-site, you’re spoiled for choice in the neighborhood — Borough Market is a short walk across the river, and you’ve got everything from Michelin-starred spots to proper fish and chips within a few blocks. The building itself keeps things simple but effective, with reliable WiFi, good water pressure (trust me, this matters), and parking options nearby if you’re brave enough to drive in the City.

Why Guests Love It

The Chronicle works because it gets the fundamentals right without trying too hard. You’re staying in one of London’s most historic areas, but in a space that feels contemporary and comfortable. The staff actually know the neighborhood and can point you toward the good stuff — like which pub has the best Sunday roast or where to find the quietest spot along the Thames for a morning coffee. It’s the kind of place where business travelers feel at home during the week, but couples find it romantic enough for a proper London weekend. The 8.7 rating speaks for itself, really — people leave happy because their expectations are not just met, but quietly exceeded.
