Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by alibear on Mar 22, 2017 12:30:00 GMT 1, Bethlehem is a touch more difficult and complex to get to them Dismaland was 
When I went through Jordan into Israel some years ago me and my wife were interviewed in separate rooms... All worked out fine, but was a surreal experience...
This is my reservation letter for the hotel:
This letter constitutes official confirmation of your reservation. We would, however, discourage you from printing it out and carrying it on your person when transiting through Tel Aviv airport.
Security and immigration officials at the airport seek to discourage people from visiting the West Bank and may pull you aside for extra questioning if aware of your final destination. It is, of course, perfectly safe and legal to visit the occupied territories - you are doing nothing wrong.
But many feel such an inconvenience is not the ideal way to start their holiday. Consequently, if questioned most travellers choose to only talk about the beach or holy sites that they intend to visit.

I received a confirmation of booking from SeeTickets, but not from the hotel direct |

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Nuno on Mar 22, 2017 13:12:03 GMT 1, Just on my way back from Israel. Had an incredible trip, great people, food and sights but, make no mistake the area is still very volatile. There were gun shots and tear gas fired less than 400m from the walled off hotel today. Up until the point my eyes were streaming and my throat burning I had felt very safe.
Go if you can, but be under no illusions.

I may not pass this useful info onto my wife, she's at limits of her comfort zone agreeing to go with me in May as it is.. Tbf they are allowing 72hour cancellations which is reasonable and allows for plan B's if issues escalate at any point.
Out of interest SuperMick is there any detail anywhere re the tours they are offering with the bookings? Did you take up one of the Walled Off 'official' ones?

That was exactly what I was thinking. 'yes dear... it's probably safer than going to WSM for the weekend' 🙉

Yeah agree with above, great proud people, really enjoyed the trip
I saw the stones on the road on the way to a Palestinians house, he had invited my wife and myself to meet his mum and sisters And have lunch in his house in camp Aida, lovely family and great food
Some may say it was possibly a little over the top to use gas and bullets against people that are throwing stones against a 10' thick 20' high wall because they are frustrated being trapped like a bird locked in its cage. though I am sure there are others that feel it was appropriate action

the tours really should be done, I did the hotel one which comes in 2 parts @ $80 per person For my wife and myself it was the the best part of the trip apart from the palistinian people we met

No chance of me making it over from the states :-(. Would pay that person for their trouble of course!

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Scraffer on Mar 23, 2017 19:23:22 GMT 1, I arrived in Jerusalem this afternoon, and am heading to the Walled Off in the morning for two nights in the bunk beds. Any other forumites out here? Currently sat in a bar in Jerusalem enjoying a pint of the local Taybeh beer. Will definitely do a livestream from my @scrafferart Instagram account at some point. Will give some notice on here though.
PS, hello all, realised I hadn't posted on here in two years! How time flies...
