The Pensione Ottaviani, conveniently located near Piazza Santa Maria Novella, did little to change its layout when it took over the space from Saint Paolino Hospital. Long, wide corridors are lined with small, simple rooms, and even smaller, simpler bathrooms, providing basic accommodation at matching low rates.

Rooms are quite dorm-like, with minimalist bed frames and shelving, in 1970s shades of yellow and blue. Artwork is more or less completely absent. Most rooms have sinks or showers. Bathrooms themselves feature a bit of wear and tear, but they're modern and functional. Breakfast is included in the nightly rate.

The pension occupies the second floor, so there's plenty of light streaming in to brighten up the wood paneling. We're not handing out any awards to the Pensione Ottaviani for interior decoration, but service, a nice nightly rate, and convenient location make this a pretty package.
