The four-storey station building is combined with a bus terminal and a shopping centre, with the total floor area of 22,500 sq.m.

It had one platform and three tracks,[1] connected with a single-track running along Chavchavadze street to the freight station near the port, then further north-east.

In the 1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Georgian Railway was in decline, and the services to Batumi station ceased by the end of 1996.

[2] To make a better use of the lucrative land in the city centre, the tracks along Chavchavadze st. were lifted in 1999, and the line ended with a buffer stop on Mayakovsky st.

The old railway station building stood abandoned until 2008, when it was taken over by TBC Bank for its main office in Batumi.
