The Property — B&B Hotels
This B&B Hotels is a no-fuss, reliably clean stop on the outskirts of Oldenburg. The lobby feels functional rather than welcoming – think laminate floors, self-check-in kiosks, and a vending machine for snacks. It suits budget-conscious travellers who just need a bed near the A28 motorway, not character or atmosphere. You park for free, get a decent Wi-Fi signal, and are 10 minutes from the city centre by car or bus.
Chronicles of Oldenburg
Oldenburg was first mentioned in 1108 as a castle (Aldenburg) guarding a ford across the Hunte. It grew as the residence of the House of Oldenburg, later kings of Denmark and Norway, leaving a legacy of Renaissance and Baroque palaces. The city survived WWII largely intact, preserving its charming Altstadt with the Lambertikirche, the Schloss, and the 19th-century State Theatre. Today it’s a lively university town and a cultural hub for Northwest Germany, known for its parks, the Horst-Janssen-Museum, and a strong bicycle culture.
Best Time to Visit
Full Oldenburg guide →Best months
May, June, and September offer mild temperatures (15-22°C), long daylight hours, and lower rainfall compared to July. The city is pleasant for walking and cycling, and major tourist attractions aren't as congested as in peak summer.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, driven by school holidays and festival season, including the Oldenburg City Festival (Stadtfest) in late August. Hotel prices can rise 20-30% over the shoulder season. August also sees the Kramermarkt, one of Germany's largest funfairs.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are excellent shoulder months: April is quieter before Easter, October offers crisp air and autumn colours, with hotel rates often 15-25% lower than summer. Crowds are thin, and you’ll have more space at museums and restaurants.
Weather & packing
Oldenburg sits in a maritime temperate zone, so weather can shift from sunny to drizzly within an hour. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and layers, even in June – a fleece for cool evenings is essential.
Live City Briefing — Oldenburg
- Oldenburg’s city centre pedestrian zone is undergoing a major redesign on Achternstraße until late 2026 – expect some noise and detours near the Lambertikirche.
- A new direct bus line 306 now runs from Oldenburg Hauptbahnhof past B&B Hotels on the A28 to the industrial park in Kreyenbrück, making access easier without a car.
- From June 2026, the Oldenburg Museum of Natural History (Landesmuseum Natur und Mensch) opens a special exhibition on the North Sea Bronze Age, featuring the famous 'Hunte' wooden idols – book ahead.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to B&B Hotels, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request

Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, especially on the 1st floor, as this area may be more prone to noise from the lift and other guests. Additionally, keep in mind that there's no wheelchair-accessible bathroom in standard rooms, so if accessibility is a priority, request the adapted room on a case-by-case basis.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Alexanderstraße doesn't offer a particularly scenic view, but rooms on the higher floors may have a view of the surrounding cityscape.
Quietest floors
