Post Hostel

Top choice in Jerusalem


On the 3rd floor of an old post office is this airy and well-run hostel. Bold red and navy decor and postal-themed murals pay homage to the building's past, and the digs are simple but spotless, ranging from private rooms to dorms (single sex and mixed). The bar, roof terrace and chill-out area with pool table promote a relaxing, convivial vibe.

There's a coin-operated laundry and a shared kitchen, and some enjoyable perks, including a good breakfast buffet and occasional movie screenings.
