Everything was great about this hostel, such a great location, perfectly helpful and nice staff, delicious breakfast, and lastly, great jazz jam session on Sunday evening. All common areas and our room were clean and furnished with new and stylish equipments. Hopefully stay here again sometime!

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.

“Historic property that was a former post office!”
The room was brand new but extremely small. No space between the wall and the bed on either side. Bathroom was spotless and very modern. Excellent location, two minute walk to restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Really substantial breakfast included. Simple lounging area in the lobby but very clean....
MoreThe room was brand new but extremely small. No space between the wall and the bed on either side. Bathroom was spotless and very modern. Excellent location, two minute walk to restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Really substantial breakfast included. Simple lounging area in the lobby but very clean. One drawback is that there is a street car or tram on the back side of the hotel which is very noisy and starts at 5:00 a.m. Request a room on the front side which has no traffic at all because it is a side street. Close to old town of Jerusalem. Desk staff were exceptionally helpful in assisting with tours, etc. There was a bar that served drinks. The front desk does not provide wake-up calls. Occasional evening entertainment.

MoreWe arrived to some sort of political engagement evening without any prior warning, and on check in were told to be quiet by a member of the attending rally. Is this a hotel or a politcal HQ?? Our booking couldnt be found, then when it was, we were given a double bed room when we had booked a triple (which had 2 beds). When we queried this, we were told we had arrived late (it was 7.30pm) and all triple rooms had gone. Funny, because I thought once a particular room type had been booked, it was booked for whatever time you showed up as opposed to a 'first come first serve' service. All we got was a shrug of the shoulders, 1 drinks voucher and the option to change to the correct room the next night, which we did. Rooms are very basic and feel hostel like despite the hotel pricetag. Generally,we felt the politcal attendants were more important than hotel guests (and we should have been warned this was happening!) and no time/compensation was given regarding our room issue.
