3-star hotels in Contai
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Contai and nearby Mandarmani, selected for couples, families and short-break travellers who want a beach base with reliable facilities and known guest ratings.
Staying in Contai
Contai is a town in Purba Medinipur district, West Bengal, near the Bay of Bengal and about 150 kilometres southwest of Kolkata. The main reason to stay here is the coast: Mandarmani, with its long beach and water sports, plus the quieter sands at Tajpur and Shankarpur. Mandarmani is a coastal resort area about 30 kilometres from Contai town, and most of these hotels sit along Mandarmani Beach Road or nearby lanes such as Kalindi Chaulkhola and Dadanpatrabarh; a few are closer to Contai town itself, including one on Tanti Para Lane off N.S Road.
The list suits couples who want a pool and a restaurant, families who need kids pools or playgrounds, and business travellers who value a front desk, meeting rooms or parking. Several hotels are within a few kilometres of the centre and within walking distance of the beach, though a vehicle is useful for exploring the wider area. It is a straightforward choice for a short break built around the sea.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Contai is connected by rail and road. Contai Road railway station is on the Kharagpur–Digha line, with trains from Howrah and Kharagpur. By road, it is about 150 km from Kolkata via NH-116 and NH-16, and buses and taxis are available from Kolkata to Contai and Mandarmani.
