This is a very friendly hostel with an upbeat vibe. The lobby area is very decorative and also has a bar and outdoor area with nice views. The rooms can be a bit cramped, but it is enough for a short stay. Lockers are provided, but locks are not.

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.

MoreThis hotel is full of surprises, I could stay there for a whole life. The team is great, prices not high, every night there is another band playing (weekends but not only), the food is great. The most I liked is the attention to minute details (the printing on the chairs, the smell in the hall room, the towels and the dead sea products as well as a bottle of wine- and all is included!!!) The best place to stay right in the center of the center of the world.

The breakfast is very good with tuna and shakshuka. The common place is very beautiful. Always there activities. There are good atmosphere for families and backpacker. And it is very near to Jaffa Gate. I recommend to stay here.

MoreMy family and I stayed in the hostel in order to be within walking distance to the Western Wall for an early morning Bat Mitzvah. The location was excellent - an easy walking to the Old Town and located directly around the corner from a strip of cafes and late-night bars. We stayed in a 10-bedroom room and had no concerns about theft, etc. as the rooms appeared to be very secure. We didn't spend too much time in the hostel it self but it has an outdoor patio, pool table room, free breakfast and beer vouchers.
Less“Poor service availability and false publication ”
Me my spouse and two friends ordered two rooms with a bathroom and queen beds. For this benefit we payed extra amount of money. When we arrived to the hotel for check-in at 22:00, the receptionist told us that there are no such rooms in the hotel. We asked to know why such rooms are published...
MoreMe my spouse and two friends ordered two rooms with a bathroom and queen beds. For this benefit we payed extra amount of money. When we arrived to the hotel for check-in at 22:00, the receptionist told us that there are no such rooms in the hotel. We asked to know why such rooms are published at a Booking site and showed him the details of the reservations, (and we had to pay more) he said that it is impossible, and that he is not able to do anything, including not canceling the order. We requested to discuss with his manager and he said that his manager is abroud and he is not able to help. Eventually, after about an hour, we made him understand that it is not possible that there is no one who has any responsibility, and he called one of his managers who authorised him to cancel the reservation. Eventually we were able to reserve rooms at an other hotel and entered our room at 00:00 AM. Poor service awareness and false publication on the website resulted with very bad experience. We do not intend to stay at the Post again, neither do we recommend it to anyone, local or a tourist.
