Opened in 2007, the Tengri offers 128 comfortable and unobtrusive rooms in a quiet location in the Microdistricts area. Most are spacious with large modern showers and simple décor, but not all have proper wardrobes. The hotel has a variety of bars and restaurants including the charming yurt-inspired Shanyrak, which serves up European and Russian cuisine, the spacious lobby bar and the Albion Irish Pub, which offers every third pint of beer free between the hours of 7 and 9pm; but those wanting to experience a taste of the Astana nightlife scene can pop over the road to Fusion or Fashion. The price of a deluxe room at the Tengri complete with cosy seating area and Jacuzzi will set you back rather less than a standard room in most other hotels, and the pleasant and professional staff is a real plus point, too.
