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.

MoreI stayed one week at the Post Hostel and I was traveling alone. Not only the hostel is comfortable but it's also very chic in the design. I was in the double ensuite room and despite the fact that it was small it had everything I needed, the right lights, hangers, a hairdryer, good quality shampoo/shower gel, and the shower was just fantastic. They clean the room every day and the hostel is overall very clean. The breakfast is excellent but do not expect anything traditional such as croissants, they have only local food but so fresh and yummy. The hostel offers a nice and wide range of free activities, such as guided tours (the guide, Shahar is excellent), films, concerts, or hummus night in the spacious and cozy common spaces. I used to relax at night with a good glass of wine on the terrace or at the bar, or I would just read in the lounge, which is so relaxing. There are people of any age at the hostel, which I found very nice, and I made new friends very easily. The location of the hostel is perfect, right behind Jaffa Street, so it is a safe area and it has stores, restaurants, bars open all night (which is somewhat of a problem, because the street is very noisy and you need earplugs to sleep). Suggestions to improve the overall high quality could be to offer coffee for breakfast (the coffee machine did not work for the 7 days I stayed at the hostel) and keep the terrace cleaner, perhaps renovating it with some better furniture. The guys at the reception could be less grumpy, it would be nice. I also stayed at the other hostel in Jerusalem, Abraham Hostel, but the Post Hostel is my favorite and I hope to go back one day!

MoreThis was not only hands down the best hostel I've ever stayed in, it was probably one of the best hotels. It was immaculately clean, newly decorated, super modern and stylish. The place felt near brand new, the rooms were a decent size (I was solo but got a private double room) and were quiet although I was staying in the low season so overall the hostel was quiet anyway. Location wise it was about a 5-10 min walk to jaffa gate to get into the old city and 10 mins in the other direction to all the bars, restaurants and shops. It was perfect, cannot recommend this hostel enough.
