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.
Cancellation policy

MoreStayed one night with spouse in an economy double room. The room was tiny but well equipped and quite. The hotel is located in the third floor of a building that used to be a main post office and now turned to be a commercial (3 stories) building. The location is good: close to the old city walls, to restaurants& pubs area, the tram train etc. Nice & cheap choice recommended in Jerusalem!

Close to the old city (Jaffa gate), Mamila shopping arcade, and more. Best price for quality. Breakfast was the only unsatisfying thing. The vegetables were fresh but the bread choise was only hard pita bread. The coffee was very bad. But near by you can find any kind of food you might want.

MoreWent there for a short getaway with my wife and friends. Location is fantastic, by the light railway, walking distance to the old city and Mahane Yehuda. Had dinner at Mahane Yehuda and make a bike ride directly from the hotel to the Jerusalem Forest through En Karem... Back around 10am for a shower (they kindly agreed for a late checkout), had a nice shower and left my staff in the luggage room. Everything was smooth.... Room is small but we did not need more.
