Makarska
Welcome
Guest House Damir is a family-run house in the centre of Makarska, a few minutes on foot from the Old Town, Kacic Square, the harbour and the town beaches. The house is not newly built, but it has been fully renovated, with new furniture and everything needed for a pleasant, quiet stay.
The Baban family has been welcoming travellers since 1968, and the house is now run by the third generation. Guests can choose between comfortable double rooms and spacious apartments, most of them with a private balcony or terrace and views towards the town, the courtyard or the slopes of Biokovo.
In front of the house there is a large yard with room for many cars, so staying in the centre of town is an advantage rather than a problem. Bikers and cyclists have been welcome guests here for decades.

Every room is air-conditioned and has a private bathroom with a bath or shower, free toiletries, towels and toilet paper. Rooms include linens, a wardrobe, a desk and dining area, a socket near the bed, a clothes rack, a drying rack, ironing facilities and an electric kettle. Several units add a private kitchenette, while all guests may use the fully equipped shared kitchen in the building.
The house offers free private parking on site with a garage suitable for cars and motorcycles, valet and accessible parking, free Wi-Fi measured at 34 Mbps, a terrace, garden and outdoor dining area, family rooms, laundry and ironing service on request, invoices on request, and fire extinguishers throughout. The whole property is non-smoking, and upper floors are reached by stairs. English and Croatian are spoken.

“Guest House Damir supplies great value to the budget-conscious traveler, yet does so without skimping on the essentials of comfortable lodging. The rooms and linens are spotless. The AC cools like a champ. The water is hot. The beds are firm.”
Craig - United States
“Damir and his sons were very helpful from the moment we arrived until we left. They helped us park our car on arrival and on the day of departure we could leave it there while we went to have breakfast before leaving an hour later.”
Felicia - Ireland
