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.

Perfect Jerusalem Budget Option
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.

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.

A good stay
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.

Since Israel is expensive, this hotel rate is on high side in low season. Breakfast is very basic. Wifi is very good. I think I don’t get for what I paid for.

Disappointing
We stayed here for 2 nights . Looking at the photos on Hotel . Com I was really looking forward to staying here. However, was disappointed for various reasons . The reception staff were not overly friendly or helpful. Our bedroom was reasonably clean but both bed lights were broken. The drain in the showers was blocked and when showering the water flooded out onto the floor. It was so bad that it did not drain all night and my husband had to mop it up in the morning. We then let reception know but received no apology and although asked for more dry towels ended up having to chase them down later in the day . Breakfast was simple but adequate. Enjoyed the fresh orange juice and freshly made omelettes. Overall, it was not worth the money paid due to the previous reasons. Has potential to be excellent but failed us .

Dear Jennifer, Thank you very much for taking time and writing this review. I believe we had an email exchange regarding your stay with us. Again, please accept my apologies in this matter. We take your criticism very seriously and I am sure we will do better with the next guest. I was happy to read you did enjoy your breakfast and fresh orange juice. Despite of these unfortunate incidents during your stay I hope you will give us your trust again during our next visit to Jerusalem and we will make it up to you! Sincerely,

Great Summer Stay at The POST
Definitely one of the better hostel experiences I've ever had. We stayed in 2 private rooms for 4 nights- the rooms were clean and comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, the aircon worked great and the location was FANTASTIC. -very safe and walkable, with a lot of restaurants close by- as well as being a less than 10 minute walk to Jaffa Gate! It was just a complete bonus that their breakfast was wonderful and they had a full bar and patio to relax on at the end of the day. Everyone working there was friendly, helpful, and informative. We were traveling with my parents- in their 60s- and they were apprehensive about staying in a hostel- but they were pleasantly surprised by how adorable the decor was and how quiet and respectful all the staff and travelers were. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone traveling on a budget in Jerusalem!
