Overview

First Impressions

Walking into The Chronicle by Supercity Aparthotels feels like discovering a well-kept secret tucked away on Norwich Street. This four-star property sits right in the heart of the City of London, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you’re here for business or want to explore the financial district without dealing with tourist crowds everywhere.

The Neighborhood

You know what I love about this spot? You’re literally surrounded by centuries of London history, but it doesn’t feel like a museum. The Royal Courts of Justice are practically next door, and you can walk to St. Paul’s Cathedral in about ten minutes. During weekdays, the area buzzes with suited professionals, but evenings and weekends? It’s surprisingly quiet — which means you’ll actually get some sleep.

The Apartment Experience

Here’s where The Chronicle really shines — these aren’t just hotel rooms with a mini-fridge thrown in. Each apartment comes with a proper kitchen setup, and I mean proper. Full-size fridge, dishwasher, even wine glasses that don’t look like they came from a cafeteria. The room layouts feel more like staying in a friend’s upscale flat than a typical hotel, with separate living areas that actually make sense.

Daily Comforts

The housekeeping team knows what they’re doing — fresh towels, restocked toiletries, and they’ll even do your dishes if you leave them in the sink (though I felt too guilty to test this more than once). There’s a small gym that gets the job done, nothing fancy but the equipment works and it’s never crowded. Parking in the City of London is always a nightmare, but they’ve got a few spots available if you book ahead.

Why Guests Love It

Look, if you want marble lobbies and doormen in top hats, this isn’t your place. But if you want a clean, comfortable base in one of London’s most central locations — with the freedom to grab groceries at Tesco and make your own coffee at 6 AM — The Chronicle delivers. The 8.9 rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting apartment-style living without the hassle of dealing with individual landlords or complicated check-in processes. Plus, you’re a quick Tube ride from anywhere else you want to be in London.

Early hotels booking in London secures West End tickets, rooftop cocktail nights, and small-group afternoon tea sessions.

"Very good"
Super friendly and polite staff! Great location, very close to city centre
What could be improved: Bathroom had no privacy, the bathroom door could not properly close. Size of the apartment could have been a bit bigger

"Excellent stay in the heart of London"
Excellent location near the inns of court, with a short walk to the West End. Well equipped with all necessary conveniences. Friendly and helpful staff.
What could be improved: All together an excellent stay. It would be nice to have daily housekeeping, but as this is an apartment hotel it’s not necessarily expected. Note that the immediate area is pretty dead at the weekend, but open restaurants and shops are a short walk away.

"Very good hotel"
Very good location: 200 m to nearest metro station (can be closed on weekend), less than 10 minutes walking to Holborn/Farringdon stations. Walkable distance to many attractions. Very friendly staff. Well-equipped room (not large, but enough for 2 persons)

"Well-appointed apartment in aparthotel with great central London location"
The apartment was tastefully decorated, very comfortable and had everything I needed, including tea-making facilities, fresh milk, iron, ironing board. The sitting area with sofa was very comfortable as was the double bed. The shower was an excellent pressure and easily adjustable. The location was great.
What could be improved: I looked at the gym, considering future stays. It was good and I would use it on another visit but it is rather small. As a serious rower, a Concept 2 erg would have been better than a water rower (for me).
