Excellent service; the facilities are very comfortable and the food is good. I only have one suggestion: the breakfast could be more varied, as eating the same thing for several days becomes boring.
I love this place, the people, the all-around convenience of the location, and the care the management shows for clients. They know the guest kitchen needs to be enlarged and another refrigerator added, but business is just now increasing again after covid and the war. The staff are lovely. I always meet lovely people here. I am sold on the Post Hostel.

It’s very nice hostel. The stuff is very welcoming. My first trip to Jerusalem is very clean close for everything. I like to stay there again. I recommended to everyone really
Helpful staff moved us from a room which opened into the courtyard and was v noisy, to a free upgrade to a gallery room which was much better. Breakfast was good. Rooms great, not the cleanest but we were there at a busy time of year and it is a hostel not a hotel! Staff wonderful.

This wasn't my first stay at this hostel, it's a nice place to stay for a few days, the dorms and common rooms are spacious and the rooftop is a nice place to sit down and have a meal.
.
The toilets are a bit curious, with signs saying "Please don't throw toilet paper in the toilets".
The property is a bit run down, this time there was a water leak in the kitchen, they closed it down on Saturday afternoon and reopened it on Sunday morning. In the meantime I had no access to the food I had put in the refrigerator.
Also, there was a problem with the toilet in my dorm, the flush buttons kind of disassembled repeatedly. The toilet was still usable, though.
The breakfast was very spartan, but I guess "adequate".

Location was great and fun atmosphere and property.
I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a budget option in a fantastic area of Jerusalem. It's tucked away from the busy street, clean, comfy, has good breakfast, and has a fun common area with a outdoor deck.
Great location near Jaffa Gate. Easy access to light rail from City Hall stop. Good breakfast for 35 sheckles. Bring your own towel or pay to rent one.
Excellent location. Very walkable and local to everything need to see and meet up spots for tours. The breakfast buffet is totally worth the price. fresh and good variety. Lots of good choices of places to eat just minutes away. convenient store just couple minutes away. ample eating area and laundry machines. I found the staff to be very helpful and curious.
Ive stayed at the post many times previously and was disappointed how far in standards it had fallen since my last visit.
I was left waiting for almost hour before i could check in, the room was dirty and the curtains didnt open so I was in total darkeness the entire time and tv didnt work in room
Raised both of these issues with reception who didnt care and basically shrugged their shoulders
Will never stay there again.

Well, property meet all requirements but breakfast needs to be more variety. The menu it is always the same, for people who stay , let’s say 03 days, this issue could be no problem but for me and my wife, was really not good eat always the same. Some staff in front desk are not very amicable. They just doing the job but be hostess mean much more than that.
Nice Hostel, good price and very good location [short walk to the Old City]. We had a room with private bathroom. The room was pretty small, but that was fine, as we just used it to sleep at night. There was a little too much noise at night when light rail works. Breakfast OK. We arrived around noon, before the official check in time. There was no one at the front desk and after waiting for 5 minutes we looked around and found a worker who helped us store the luggage before checking in. One of the guests at the Hostel opened the locked door for us - to be able to get into the Hostel's front desk area. The Hostel has a very nice terrace outside, with plenty of live plants. All on all, a good value, a good stay.
Wow for the price- clean room, warm breakfast, daily cleaning, central location, tv, not dodgy at all. Marvelous to be honest.
Shakushuka single egg is just enough. Perfectly baked with runny yolk (the sauce is on the very salty side.) Lovely fresh tomatoes etc and labneh, hummus, cottage.
And the pigeon murals, aren’t they adorable? 🐦
The sign was too small so I missed it for the first time, climbed the stairs to get to the real post office, and saw a plaque a out entering from the other side… it’s next door to Aish. (I’ve been to the post office actually a few days ago and didn’t notice hh)
Room is bright. The corridor and the street are quiet (except for Thursday night when the whole country goes crazy lol). I like the sound of tram passing.. soothing. Nice thick curtains (I used to sleep with curtain open to wake up more easily with nature light but this time I indulged in the disorientating darkness XD). And daily cleaning? I feel pampered in the hostel haha.
Towels are cleaner and tidier than my previous Airbnb lol.
The only real downside is thar it’s a little cold in mid/late November without heating. Fortunately there are extra beddings in the room so I piled them on me and felt comfy.
The room is not as glamorous as the pictures show but still clean and tidy. Initially there was some humid smell in the bathroom, but a quick ventilation solves the problem. No hairdryer.
A gem a very much want to keep it to myself XD
