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.

MoreOn a recommendation of a fellow traveller stayed here for 2 nights and have no regrets. Plus I am not a hostel type of person. Loved the great healthy and bountiful breakfast with the hand made muesli, boiled eggs, yoghurt, shakshouka, ground coffee, but honestly OJ that you have to squeeze yourself so I know that it was fresh was the best! Close to both the old city and Mahane Yehuda market. With the tram system City Hall stop just up the outside stairs, really handy location. Shahar did a really great job with the tour that I went with him. He was certainly passionate, knowledgeable and totally professional. Gave me a new perspective of the many challenges facing the country. Great guy, a credit to him and the other hostel staff as well for your boundless energy and enthusiasm. Room while small was clean but that is all that you need if it is just a bed to crash. Yes, it could do with a few hooks. Plenty of room out in the common area including the open-air terrace. Would I stay again if back in Jerusalem. You bet I would.

MoreLoved the atmosphere, delicious breakfast for a hostel! super clean, prime location! Next to the old city and the city center. Loved the free activities which make you socialize. The highlights were the free activities at the hostel. I did the beer tasting and it was so much fun! I also took 3 different tours with Schakar, and I can highly recommend his tours!! He is an amazing person, very interesting and open, Answering every question we asked him, and very passionate when he is guiding. Looks like he really enjoys his job and he was so excited to show us his hometown. He learnt for 2 years the history of Israel. I learnt so much from the tours which were a great introduction to the city, so if you have a chance ask at the front desk for any of his tours! My favorite was the pub crawl, such an unforgettable night, lots of fun, drinking and dancing, and it was free!! I will definitely come back again to the hostel. Keep up the great work guys!

MoreStayed there for two nights with a friend. It's a good hostel. The location is very close to the old city and Mahane Yehuda market. There are tons of restaurants and bars 5 to 10 mins from the hostel. We had a twin private room. The room is a bit small but it's very clean. The only negative thing was there were not enough hooks and space to hang out coat and tower. There are a lot of communal spaces both indoor an outdoor. The staff was kind and helpful.
