The rooms are aged and worn, but the staff and location made up for it. Our room was on the river side and we were constantly entertained by the tubers on the river. I would definetly stay here again.

Great Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/29/08
The Helendorf Inn is THE BEST PLACE TO STAY IN HELEN. Location, Location, Location!!! With a genuine staff offering personal attention, The Helendorf is grand. My family has stayed at this property since the 1970,s, and we have never had a bad experience. Our visit in late June of this year has been the latest of our great times in Helen, ...
attention to detail, with free wood for the fireplace, and everything available to cook your own romantic dinner with a grocery store just down the street that has everything from fresh seafood to steak.
Our family stayed her and we thought it was so cute. They are definitely in need of updating, but if they did, then the atmosphere wouldn't be old world. My five year old enjoyed sleeping on the love seat in the room and thought it was a perfect bed for her. The river view is nice. The location is awesome because you can walk to everything. ...

Dated, but a great value
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/24/08
The rooms are definitely dated, but are large and comfortable, and scrupulously clean. And, despite the hotel's location directly on the river, no moldy smell, which has to be something of an accomplishment. Staff was friendly and helpful, and there is a comfortable sitting room with a fireplace, which we enjoyed for breakfast and "game ...

Family friendly fun
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/24/08
We loved the hotel and the quaitness of the rooms-nothing fancy. As we were checking in a couple came in and decided it was not up to there standard well to us it was great! We travel alot and know sometimes the simplicity is nicer than all the star ratings. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and the location was perfect. If you are ...

Great last minute room rate!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/26/07
My husband and I decided to get away for a night and headed to Helen, an odd-sounding place where we'd never been. Well, it is a little odd, but in a funny, kitschy way, and we REALLY lucked up when we found the Helendorf. We wanted to stay in the heart of town, so we could easily explore, and the location of the Helendorf couldn't be ...

We plan to stay again!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/19/07
We stayed on the riverside in room 223. It was a pet friendly room and as pet owners we where very pleased. The cleaning staff was great, She understood what pet owners need and required. Parking was a tight fit but other than that all was great. We will definately be back.

What a Great Place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/11/07
This was our first trip to Helen, Ga. What a quaint little Alpine village. The Helendorf added perfectly to our Alpine experience. We were on the 4th floor overlooking the river, such a beautiful view. The room decor was sort of old European. The architecture of this place has an "Old World" look. Our room was very clean and quickly ...

My 12th year at the Helendorf
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/10/07
As my title says this is my 12th year in a row staying at the Helendorf Inn for Oktoberfest. My first few years were in a standard room but the last few years were in the suites. You are definately paying for the location of the hotel and not the amenities or cleanliness. The Helendorf is in badly need of a renovation but its not a roach motel. The ...
