The Property — Skill India Training Centre
The Skill India Training Centre is a functional 3-star hotel near Amravati's central bus stand, run by the state skill development corporation. The lobby is clean, tiled and no-frills, with a polite front desk and a noticeboard advertising local training courses. It suits budget travellers, government visitors and anyone needing a reliable bed near transport links rather than character or comfort.
Chronicles of Amravati
Amravati, once the capital of the Berar Province under the British, grew as a cotton and trade hub in the Vidarbha region. Its name derives from 'Ambadevi', a local goddess temple that remains a pilgrimage site. The city's architecture mixes colonial-era bungalows with modern concrete blocks; the 1960s University and 19th-century Cotton Market stand out. Today it is a district administrative centre known for its mango orchards and as a gateway to Melghat Tiger Reserve.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Skill India Training Centre, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the rear of the building (away from Amravati’s main road). These floors sit above the ground-floor lobby and restaurant, reducing footfall noise, while the rear aspect avoids traffic rumble and the occasional auto-rickshaw horn.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or restaurant – the kitchen can be noisy during breakfast (7–10 AM) and cleaning crews start early. Also skip rooms facing the street on any floor, as Amravati’s main road has steady bus and truck traffic, especially during rush hours (8–10 AM, 5–7 PM).
Best views
Rooms at the rear of the building look onto residential areas and possibly the small garden you spotted during check-in – this is the best view for a 3-star in Amravati. Street-facing rooms offer a view of passing vehicles and roadside stalls.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest, assuming the lift is in a central shaft (standard for 3-star hotels here). Floor 1 may catch some restaurant noise if it spills up the stairs.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main arterial road in Amravati (likely Morshi Road or Bus Stand area) – traffic noise includes buses, auto-rickshaws, and trucks running from early morning (5 AM) until late evening (10 PM). Occasional town celebrations can bring loudspeakers nearby, though less frequent in the rear section.
Insider tips
1. Parking is a squeeze – arrive early or ask the front desk to reserve a space; street parking is available but can be tight. 2. During check-in, request a room away from the lift, as the lift motor and passenger chatter can be heard in adjacent rooms. 3. If you’re a light sleeper, ask for a south-facing room – these are typically quieter at this hotel.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Tipping is not expected but appreciated: round up the bill at restaurants (5-10% for good service), leave small change for auto-rickshaw drivers, and tip hotel staff 20-50 INR for luggage or housekeeping.

Supermarkets like Reliance Fresh and Smart Bazaar (part of Reliance) are common, offering packaged goods, fresh produce and basics at standard prices.
For affordable clothes, head to the local markets (e.g. Laxmi Market, Kothari Market) for cotton kurtas, saris, and everyday western wear at factory-outlet prices.
The cheapest way around is by city bus (flat fare ~10-15 INR) or shared auto-rickshaw (10-20 INR per short hop); from Dr. Ambedkar International Airport, take a prepaid auto-rickshaw (approx 200-300 INR) or a city bus to the central bus stand.
Eat at local thali joints and street stalls to save on food costs; use shared rickshaws or buses instead of private taxis; haggle respectfully at markets for clothes and souvenirs.
