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.

MoreIt has everything a solo traveler would need - easy transportation via the light trail #1, 5min walk to the Jerusalem old town (very convenient for quick naps in the afternoon, particularly on a hot days during late August & early September). Close to places to buy local sim cards and grab bites during Shabbat. Great breakfast! They provide a full basket of oranges and you can make fresh orange juice on your own daily. The only drawback is the front-dest staff is not very helpful. One of them gave me wrong information of visiting hours to the Temple Mountain, which didn't impact my experience or prevent me from getting in due to a long line, but the confusing act is a bit unprofessional. They won't do extra for you in cases like: reserving a lower bed in a dorm or changing your bookings if you book with OTA, like Booking.com or Agoda - all replied with standard answers "sorry, we cannot... / there's nothing I can do" and acting. Exceptions: a night shifted staff at the reception who was also in charge of preparing breakfast did me a favor for getting some food for me on an early check-out date at 6am, for I was rushing to leave for my trip to Jordan. Really appreciated that! Bar staff are also friendly.

MoreThis was the perfect place for me. The staff was immediately friendly upon arrival and did everything they could to accommodate requests. They were the most friendly of anyplace I stayed while in Israel. I actually decided to go back to stay in Jerusalem at the Post the night before leaving out of the Tel Aviv airport. The breakfast guy was lovely and gave me many recommendations on places to go and even consoled my nerves regarding a car rental. The gentleman with the glasses was also very friendly and offered tour options without being aggressive, although I never took a tour since it was so easy to get everywhere on my own. Additionally, the younger housekeeping staff were so friendly, striking up conversations while they worked and showed genuine interest in the journeys of the guests. I really loved it here and it was exactly where I needed to be. Thank you for making me feel at home.
Less100% recommendation! Excellent location, atmosphere on the main street, Jewish quarter. Very nice and fast service, very clean, excellent breakfast: sufficient, buffet, good coffee and even fresh orange juice ;) Cosmetics in the bathroom, air conditioning, quiet in the rooms. Good mattresses, clean sheets, new towels. The room was tiny, but it was over 4.5,...

Good mattresses, clean sheets, new towels. The room was tiny, but it was over 4.5, tall! :) Large lobby where You can meet very original people of different ages. They offer tours with their own guides around the old city and more - I highly recommend it (small groups and great guides!). Next time I will definitely live there.
