Mestil Hotel & Residences occupies a modern eight-storey building on Nsambya Road in the Nsambya neighbourhood, approximately 2.5 kilometres south of Kampala's central business district and 10 minutes by taxi from Parliament of Uganda. The Nsambya area is a residential and diplomatic quarter, giving guests a quieter base than downtown without sacrificing access to major embassies, hospitals, and business hubs.

The hotel opened in 2014 with a clean contemporary interior featuring neutral tones, polished floors, and full-height windows on the upper floors. Accommodation spans standard rooms, superior rooms, and two-bedroom residence suites designed for extended stays. All rooms are equipped with flat-screen television, air conditioning, safe, and minibar; the residence units add kitchenette facilities and separate living areas suited to corporate relocations and NGO staff on multi-week assignments.

Dining centres on the main restaurant, which serves an international menu alongside East African staples throughout the day. The rooftop terrace bar is the hotel's social focal point, offering panoramic views over Kampala's undulating hills while serving cocktails and light bites into the evening. A dedicated conference suite and three breakout meeting rooms make Mestil a frequent choice for regional business meetings and training workshops.

The gym is equipped with cardio machines and free weights and is open to all guests at no extra charge. Staff at the front desk arrange airport transfers to Entebbe International Airport roughly 45 minutes away, city car hire, and connections with reputable safari operators working the western circuit and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Laundry is handled in-house within 24 hours, and covered parking is available on site.
