Only 1 hour from Lille and at the crossroads of major European capitals, Dunkirk is known for being the3rd largest French port but also a festive city with its famous annual Carnival.
Your stopover in Dunkerque will be a real relaxing interlude, alone, with family or friends. Cultural walks around the many museums and tourist sites, multiple sports activities and the large beach of Malo-les-Bains make the city a destination for everyone. You’re sure to find an activity that suits you!
The FRAC Grand Large museum is located nearby, as is the Grand Large footbridge, which takes you to the beach in five minutes.
The location of the youth hostel l’Escale allows you to easily reach the city center, the port and the beach. The free bus network of Dunkerque serves our establishment. The train station is only 10 minutes away by this means of transportation.
When you return from your walk or at any time of the day, you can enjoy the relaxation area. On the top floor of the establishment, overlooking the sea, a TV lounge, a library and a rest room are at your disposal to recharge your batteries.

Good value, close to the beach, no need to take your car.
Delighted with the stay and looking forward to returning to this hotel.
Positive: The hotel’s location is great: close to the beach and easy to get to.
The room is clean and very comfortable and the equipment ideal. What’s more, the staff are welcoming.
Negative: The upstairs occupant was a bit noisy.
Easy access, ample parking, simple but spacious and clean rooms, friendly staff.
A good alternative to the usual hotel, more convivial especially for groups.
To be recommended
Idéal pour une famille ! Positif : la chambre était très spacieuse et propre. Idem pour la salle de bain attenante. C'était calme, super et idéal pour une famille ! Négatif: Le matelas était correct mais pas très confortable. Mais sinon, plus de bons points que de mauvais.
Personnel très sympathique qui m'a fait me sentir chez moi. Lit très confortable - j'ai très bien dormi.
Positif : J'ai passé un très bon moment à L'Escale. J'avais fait du vélo à Dunkerque depuis Calais et j'étais arrivé très fatigué et affamé. Pour cette raison, j'étais très heureux que le dîner soit disponible à la cafétéria juste en bas et je n'avais pas à sortir et à trouver un restaurant.
Négatif : Plus d'options pour le petit déjeuner aurait été bien. Je ne mange pas de sucre donc j'ai trouvé le petit déjeuner un peu difficile. Toutes les céréales étaient des céréales transformées sucrées. Cela aurait été bien d'avoir une option sans sucre comme l'avoine (avoine) et le yaourt entier sans sucre.
This is our 5th stay if I’m not mistaken. We are a sailing club from the Paris region (2DN Voile) and we come here once or twice a year to go sand yachting. There are usually between 12 and 18 of us, except this year when the flu decimated half of those involved. As before, we appreciated the welcome and the accommodation. We’ll definitely be back.
Hôtel pas cher sans fioritures
Hôtel vraiment pas cher et propre. Un lit sans fioritures pour la nuit. Ils accueillent de nombreux voyages scolaires et peuvent donc être un peu bruyants si des adolescents sont dans le bâtiment. Alors prenez des bouchons d'oreilles ! Les lits sont basiques et grincent un peu mais c'est propre et très bien situé pour explorer Dunkerque. Bon pour une nuit !
Youth hostel located near the beach at Malo-les-Bains and a 20-minute walk from the center of Dunkirk. Bus (free) every 10 minutes, with FRAC, LAAC and Musée Dynamo nearby. Very clean establishment. The buffet breakfast is perfect (€5, hard to beat). The staff are very pleasant. It’s a youth hostel, not a hotel, so there’s no TV or WIFI in the rooms. I recommend it.
