I was skeptical about the lodging after reading many reviews, and went anyway;chose the Helendorf, and had a wonderful stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our rooms were clean and much larger than the picture. I was a bit skeptical about the beds when I first sat on them, as they seemed a bit hard, but actually slept very... more

The Good: A quick and convenient location for sure. It was just a few steps to the town shops/restaurants or the festhalle in the other direction. Our room did overlook the river on our own private balcony. The mini kitchen was also an added convenience. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. The overall setting and layout of the property... more

This was our 2nd time staying at this hotel. It is always a pleasure. The rooms are clean and the hotel is charming. It is right on the river, so you can see the water from the your balcony. It is walking distance to downtown. Very friendly staff and great place to stay. more

From first-hand experience in staying at The Helendorf Inn before, I can assure you a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable stay. The riverfront rooms are the main attraction here and are wonderful for taking it easy. There's virtually no noise since the hotel is located at the start of the strip. It feels like you're removed even though your still in... more

The Helendorf is older and could use some renovations. There were minor stains in the bathroom and some chips off the bottom of the bathroom door. BUT --- The room was amazingly clean! It was right on the river with a view you won't forget. The balcony was overlooking the river and had chairs so we could enjy the view.... more

Once there it seemed we would have problems finding a room so we took what we could get, a jaccuzzi suite at the Helendorf. $150 a night was very high for this room. Staff was great, room was very large and clean. However, wi-fi only... more

Nice front desk people. Room was dated but clean. We had a room right on the creek and the view was beautiful!! I thought the price was a little high, being off season and during the week. However, in Helen, they all seem overpriced. A nice stay overall! more

This was a pleasant surprise, this place was charming and old style of Helen,Ga. Nothing fancy just a clean, affordable, safe place to stay for a couple of nights. We had a room that overlook the river and the sound of the water was awesome. We walked across the street to Wendy's one night and the other night we walk... more

I stayed at The Helendorf River Inn and was mad VERY sick! We stayed in one of the rooms (204) with a fireplace and after burning a fire for several hours my husband and I went to bed. I woke up at 2:30 A.M. ( to use the restroom) to a room FILLED with smoke! The smoke detectors NEVER WENT... more
