If you are British and don't pronounce the H then use "an", otherwise use "a".
"An 'ospital" "A hospital"

The H in Hospital is not considered the silent H, so it's "a hospital"
Only use 'an' when the word after starts with a vowel or silent letter, such as 'an hour' - we didn't pronounce the H.

A hospital sounds better than an hospital.

The 'n' is only added if the next word starts with a vowel.
Therefore it is a hospital.

A hospital. The "h" in hospital is not silent, (you can hear it at the beginning of the word if you say the word alone) so you use "a" for the article which preceeds it.
Words beginning with the letter "h" where the "h" is silent do use "an" for the article. In the word "honor", the "h" is silent, so you use the article "an": "It was an honor for him to be recognized for his discovery."
I hope that helps.
