A medieval "hospital" was a guest-house where all travellers could stay, free of charge, for a night or two. It would have a refectory for serving simple meals and a chapel where guests could pray. The word hospital comes from Latin hospitium, meaning hospitality, lodgings or guest accommodation.
Some hospitals were situated in cities and towns, for the use of pilgrims or travelling merchants and others. Most were situated within monasteries, where anyone could find a bed and a meal at no charge. The only people who would not be welcome were lepers (unwelcome practically everywhere) and anyone declared outlaw - it was a criminal offence to offer comfort, warmth or food to an outlaw and anyone doing so would be declared outlaw themselves.
A place for treating sick people was an infirmary - almost all of these were within monasteries and were intended for the use of the monks.
