In your sentence, it sounds like she is not in the hospital, but that the hospital is near her house.

Before I can tell you how to rewrite it, I have to know what you're trying to say. Please explain what you want to say, and I'll suggest ways to rewrite the sentence.

Well, I mean, B is staying in the hospital and I ask A if you went to the hospital, near B (near B, I mean in which room B stays)

Do you want to go and visit her in the hospital? If so, I think better to say like this: Did you go to the hospital to her or to visit or see her?

No, it's correct the way I wrote it. What you wrote is not really English.
