Booked the venue for a workshop last week. I have presented there before. The staff are always really helpful, the food is good and plentiful and the rooms are set up well. Plus for the CBD the low price is also a deciding factor. Very happy with all the above. One problem that I hope they attend to is the disabled bathroom facilities. I have presented there in a wheelchair and a participant this time was in a wheelchair. The only toilet is nowhere near the conference room and very difficult to access. For somewhere offering so many rooms they need to better cater for people with disabilities

Great for internal events, ie if you don’t need to impress anyone like clients. We were in adjoining rooms1202 or something like that. Very low tech. No plugs for lap tops at the tables, no lectern and when it arrived it didn’t have an integrated microphone, and the speaker’s computer would slide off so they had to leave it on the table next to them and bend over to read. No lapel microphones so the speakers had to hold a big microphone the whole time. It’s a tired old building but it’s been tarted up well enough. The toilet seats have deteriorated and smell like old plastic akin to BO. Staff were great, food was pretty good, nespresso machine is always a bonus! Chairs were decent for a 6 hour day. Great location. Really well lit, so you don’t feel like you’re in a time warp.

Benefits

We tailor your conference to your requirements, offering a range of flexible seating layouts, audio/visual configurations and gourmet catering options. We also offer the option to downsize your conference booking to a smaller or larger room if the number of attendees changes closer to your conference date*.

All Karstens venues provide conference rooms with natural daylight, comfortable breakout areas, free Wi-Fi, Nespresso coffee and a selection of premium teas. This provides the perfect environment to relax, refresh and network.

We strongly believe in quality over quantity, especially when it comes to food. That’s why we offer a full gourmet in-house catering experience with a variety of healthy menu options. Common dietary requirements are provided at no extra cost.

Located at 123 Queen Street, Karstens Melbourne is positioned in the heart of Melbourne’s legal precinct and close to Bourke Street Mall. Flinders Street and Southern Cross Stations are only minutes away, with easy access to trams and on-site parking.

Our conference rooms provide a truly modern and executive space fully equipped with the latest technology and infrastructure. This includes comfortable eight-hour chairs, free Wi-Fi, fast fibre optic internet connection and video/telephone conferencing facilities in all rooms (on request).

We offer a dedicated Conference Coordinator for all your bookings in Australia and New Zealand. Our coordinator ensures that each of your events is managed seamlessly from start to finish. Rebooking or rolling out a road show is easy, as we can duplicate your previous event or book the same conference across all of our venues.
