Fabhotel Sky Palace

Fabhotel Sky Palace is a 3-star budget hotel at Royal Titanium, Palanpur Patiya, in the Rander / Jahangirpura area of Surat, Gujarat, India. Palanpur Patiya is a junction on the Tapi's northern side, part of the fast-developing residential and commercial belt that connects Rander and Jahangirpura with the Adajan area across the river. The central railway station is about 6 kilometres away, and the Tapi bridges provide access to the old city and the main markets. FabHotels is an Indian chain offering standardised, clean rooms with air conditioning, television and wifi at accessible prices, and this property is among the cheapest of the brand in Surat. The listing mentions only that smoking is allowed, so other amenities should be confirmed with the hotel. Prices start at around INR 1,060 (about US$11) per night, which is very low even by Indian standards. Room types are not itemised; a restaurant, pool, spa and fitness centre are not listed. Dining relies on the surrounding area, where local restaurants, tea stalls and snack vendors serve Gujarati vegetarian meals, farsan and sweets at modest prices. The service character is basic and aimed at budget travellers, traders, drivers and visitors on a short stay. The Royal Titanium building houses offices and shops, and guests should check that the lift works and ask about luggage handling. Because the area is largely residential and commercial, sightseeing requires transport; auto-rickshaws and app taxis can reach Surat Castle, the riverfront and the Science Centre in around 20 to 30 minutes. The hotel is a sensible choice for those who value price above amenities.
