The enthalpy change of solution (or enthalpy of solvation) is the general term and can apply to any solvent.
The enthalpy of hydration is specifically the enthalpy of solvation when the solvent is water.
My research: Google Scholar and Researchgate

enthalpy change of solution is defined as the enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of the substance is dissolved in enough solvent so that no further enthalpy change takes place upon adding more solvent

enthalpy change of hydration is defined as the enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of the gaseous ion is hydrated
