We booked a private room for 2 nights, but found rates to be quite high. Rooms were comfortable, but small and did were overlooking a concrete court yard. Breakfast and happy hour were great though! As is its location: 5 minute walk from Jaffa gate, which gets you into the old city.

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.

MoreOur stay at Post Hostel as a group couldn't have been greater! Beside the modern equipped rooms and lobby with the great roof top the amazing atmosphere during our stay was mainly formed by the amazing staff. Shaha is the best tourguide for the Wall, Mea Sharim and the temple mount, AO is a great shabbat yoga teacher and we also really loved to have the opportunity to visit a Klezmer concert which was arranged by Shaha. So: If you want to experience Jerusalem in a quiet authentic way - definitely go there!

Morethis is the best Hostel-Experiance I ever had. If I had a lot of money and could afford a 5-star-hotel, I would still choose this beautiful Hostel. Even the big dormatories are really comfortable. you have space for your stuff and privacy and it is very clean. I loved the big lobby. usually I don't want to spend time in a hostel or hotel, but in this case you feel like in a cool bar which is also an "extended living room". the Hostel is in a former post-office, so it feels like beeing in a historical place anyway. A very friendly girl helped with bus-connections. the only thing missing: bath towels, but you get them If you ask. breakfast: also super. And they offer a lot of free sightseeing stuff or yoga, which is also: really a lot!
