We have partnered with two adjacent twin hotels, Novotel and İbis, for your accommodation.

Novotel offers a more luxurious experience, while İbis is a more budget-friendly option. Both hotels are conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from the main event venue, Fişekhane.

Given the limited availability of rooms with twin beds (separate beds), we will not be offering a ‘find me a roommate’ option for this event. Instead, you may opt to stay in a single room or consider sharing a king-size bed with a tango friend.

Please be aware that if the check-in and check-out dates between roommates differ, the person staying longer is responsible for covering the additional room costs for those extra nights.

In accordance with hotel policy, we will need to increase the room prices after the first 30 rooms are booked. These price adjustments will apply once more than 30 rooms have been reserved.
