Location & History
THE POST is located at 23 Yafo Street, the meeting point between east and west Jerusalem — just 275 meters away from the Old City walls and a few steps away from the municipality, the shops and restaurants of the downtown area and the nearest light rail stop, giving you easy access to just about any site in Jerusalem.
The hostel is on the top floor of Jerusalem’s main post office, which was built from 1934 to 1938 by chief architect of the British Mandate Department of Public Works Austin Harrison and British government architect Percy Winter. The unique structure combines international styles with those typical of Jerusalem. The building was originally the main communications hub of the city.

Great that there is a pool table, and a great buy one get one free on beers during happy hour. The location is perfect, minutes walk from the old town of Jerusalem and well located to head up to the new town market. On Shabbat there was also restaurant very close to eat. The bed themselves however were extremely loud and squeaky when you moved, quite wobbly and not particularly comfortable - only let down.

MoreWe stayed at this hostel during the Passover period and were very happy with the services provided by this hostel. The rooms although tiny were very functional with a comfy bed and quality, warm shower. The hostel provides a discount at the bar which is well received after a day of exploring the old city. It is also the starting point for Old City Tours operated by Ryan. We took the Mount of Olives tour which was informative and well presented. The location of this hostel is well within walking distance of many of the entrance gates to the old city. The breakfast provided is simple, middle eastern options. I highly recommend this hostel.
