Located in the central post office building at 23 Jaffa Street, on the third floor, The Post Hostel is near the light rail and municipality, about 200 meters from the walls surrounding the old city. Guests can find the fusion of cultures and religions of this special place as English, Hebrew and Arabic writing are present. The hostel sends its welcome while remaining in tune with the city.

THE POST offers 43 rooms, including dorm rooms (10 or 12 beds) with en-suite bathrooms and showers and private double/family rooms.

Dorm rooms feature personal lockers, lockable drawers, storage under the bed, bedside lamps, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning/heating, and a shared desk. Linens are provided; towels are available for an extra fee.

Location & Access

The Post Hostel is located in West Jerusalem at 23 Jaffa Street, a 15-minute walk from Jaffa Gate and Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Landmarks nearby include Al-Aqsa Mosque (1.5 km), Western Wall (1.5 km), and Tower of David (1 km). Guests arriving by car will appreciate parking available at The Post Hostel. Travelers can get on the train at the Jerusalem Central Bus Station, heading towards 'Air Force' and get off at the 5th stop, which is 'City Hall'. Another option is to park in one of the city's free parking lots, located at Ammunition Hill or at Mount Herzl and travel to the hostel by tram. Go Car is available for driving an open-roofed electric vehicle.

“This place strikes a good balance with its functional facilities, comfortable if compact rooms, and a very convenient location close to Old City and transport links; plus, the made-to-order shakshuka at breakfast is a definite highlight. While the shared kitchen cleanliness depends on fellow guests, the friendly staff and secure environment make it a worthwhile choice. I think this hostel provides solid value for those looking to explore Jerusalem.”
