Hotel Rosina
Underground parking and a promenade walk to town
About this hotel
Hotel Rosina sits in the western part of Makarska, within walking distance of the beach, and solves a problem many coastal hotels don't: genuine parking, with a free open-air lot and an underground garage that can hold up to 22 cars, even small sailing boats. The centre of Makarska is a 20-minute walk away along the sea promenade, past sandy and rocky beaches, fitness and wellness centres along the route. The restaurant serves traditional home-cooked meals alongside international dishes, with a terrace looking out toward the neighbouring islands of Brač and Hvar, a view most central hotels in town can't quite match from ground level. Rooms stay comfortable rather than luxurious, in keeping with the property's straightforward, value-focused character.
- Free parking, underground and open-air
- Balcony rooms with sea or mountain views
- Promenade walk to the centre
Our take
Hotel Rosina sits in western Makarska within walking distance of the beach, about 20 minutes along the sea promenade from the centre, with balcony rooms facing the sea or the mountains. Free parking, including an underground garage, is rare in Makarska and makes it the hotel I would pick for drivers. The air-conditioned restaurant serves home-cooked and international dishes, with a terrace looking towards Brač and Hvar, and it holds an 8.7 score from 516 reviews.
- ✓Bring your own car if you can, the underground garage here beats fighting for street parking near the centre.
- ✓Walk the sea promenade into town rather than driving, it's flat, shaded in parts, and genuinely scenic.
- ✓Request an island-facing room, the terrace view toward Brač and Hvar is one of the property's real strengths.
Why we love it
- Underground garage for up to 22 cars

- Balconies with sea or mountain views
Why guests love itWe drove down from Zagreb and the underground garage at Hotel Rosina saved us the usual scramble for street parking near the centre. The 20-minute walk along the sea promenade each morning became part of the routine rather than a chore, especially with the islands visible the whole way, and the restaurant terrace's view toward Brač made even an ordinary dinner feel like an occasion.
