I am sorry to say this but RMI as a hostel is a nightmare to stay at. Frequent invasion of privacy is highly rampant in hostel by the Sisters especially Sr. Margaret.If you are paying for your accomodation,you expect to stay freely rather than being accountable to unknown people (Sisters in this case) for your personal room and life!I highly discourage people from contacting this institution!

I stayed there for 10 months in 1998, the best experience of my life. I was studying English and with them I got jobs as a babysitter and as a dog walker. I fondly remember the sisters who were there at that time, I made incredible friends with whom I still have contact. I loved breakfast with tea and toast, and dinners were also very delicious.

Welcoming and very organised and clean. Worth it, best location and people are really nice, creating sense of community which is really helpful when living alone. There’s a curfew that you can’t skip

RMI is literally the BEST place for young women in London. They make you feel welcome, the sisters are literally angels on earth, and living with other girls is just so much fun. The location is just perfect you are walking distance from Imperial College, Natural History Museum, and Hyde Park. Honestly, it is a privilege to be there. I stayed there 3 years and my heart was a bit broken when I left. Yes, there is a curfew at 11 pm (midnight on Friday/Saturday) and there are some basic rules you need to follow like cleaning the kitchen once in a while but it is not a big deal. What you get is so much more. If you want a safe, loving, and caring place to live do not hesitate to book with RMI!
