First Impressions

Eco Friendly caught me off guard — honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from a hotel tucked away on Strada Coziei in Deva. But this four-star place has something genuine going for it that you don’t find in most eco-themed hotels. The moment you walk in, there’s this refreshing absence of greenwashing — they actually mean it here, and it shows in ways that matter.

The Room Experience

My room was surprisingly spacious, with locally sourced wooden furniture that didn’t feel forced or overly rustic. The lighting is soft and warm, probably LED but designed to feel natural. You know what impressed me most? The little touches — bamboo toothbrushes in the bathroom, refillable soap dispensers, and windows that actually open wide (rare these days). The bed was comfortable enough that I slept through the night without thinking about it, which is my personal test for any hotel.

Location & Getting Around

Deva isn’t exactly a tourist hotspot, but that’s part of the charm here. The hotel sits in a quiet residential area, maybe a 10-minute walk from the city center and that famous Deva Citadel perched on the volcanic hill. There’s decent parking right at the hotel, which matters if you’re driving through Hunedoara County. I actually enjoyed the peaceful evenings — no traffic noise, just the occasional dog barking in the distance.

Dining & Facilities

The on-site restaurant focuses on regional Romanian dishes with ingredients sourced from local farms. I had this incredible ciorbă de burtă that tasted like someone’s grandmother made it — in the best possible way. Breakfast was simple but fresh: local cheeses, homemade jams, and bread that was actually baked that morning. They also have a small wellness area with a sauna that I used after a long day exploring the Retezat Mountains nearby.

Why Guests Love It

What sets Eco Friendly apart is its authenticity — they’re not trying to be something they’re not. The staff genuinely cares about sustainability without being preachy about it, and they know the area well enough to give you real recommendations. With a 9.3 rating, it’s clear other travelers appreciate the honest approach too. If you’re exploring this part of Transylvania and want a place that feels responsible without sacrificing comfort, this is your spot.

Overall it was a pleasant stay. The location was great, the view was amazing. The place was clean but not overly clean. There were some spiders/spiderwebs here and there and curtains were a bit dusty and stained. However, the bedsheets, towels, bathroom were all clean. The contactless entry is a nice touch.
I would still recommend it - it was a great value for money. Nice place in a calm area with a great view. We would happily come back.

What could be improved: The stay was very pleasant. Like I said there were just few details missing to make it exceptional.
And it's more of a note to the owners, rather than complaint
There was an issue with the code to our door and it took a moment to figure it out. Someone came quickly to let us in and we were told they will reset the code which they never did. The communication could be slighly more engaging.
The cups for the coffee and teaspons were missing - again, not a big deal but a small missing detail.

Clean, modern, comfortable room; responsive owners; amazing view all around at the castle, city and basin of Deva. Big extra point for the insect nets on all doors and windows (not that common in these parts and much needed). It is very easy to get in and out with the codes that are clearly communicated, the payment was also straightforward.

What could be improved: Air conditioning did not really work, despite multiple attempts to turn it on. Wifi is very week, at least in our room in the second floor (don’t even think about streaming). The smell of cigarette smoke all night, even with closed doors and windows (coming maybe from an inner ductway?). Challenging to reach by car because of the narrow and occasionally very steep roads; of course this elevation is also a positive, because the amazing view is worth the effort.

What could be improved: just some small things : one morning when we arrived in the room the heat was on, set in 30 Celsius... have no idea how that happened but we immediately had to open the windows since we were already cooking in the room, the other thing is that if you don't own a car, you are going to have to get a taxi to get you there from the city or a friend with a car, since it is a long way up the hill to get to this property, going down is a lot easier and we managed on foot (since we don't own a car), also the address on Google maps is off so you have to be careful and actually use the name of the property and not the street name and number

Clean, cosy, comfortable. Perfect room. The house is outside Deva on some hills. The view is extraordinary. Easy to get there. You have a parking space, too. Very good coffee on the premises.
