Such incredible food! Really enjoyed it all.
Great venue and high quality food provided.
Great facility, lovely people, amazing food. Absolutely cannot fault them. Hopefully I have an opportunity to train at their facility again in the future. Shout out to the 2 amazing women at reception. They have greeted us with a smile each morning, checked in on our team regularly to ensure we have what we need and are always up for a chat. 10/10 team.
The team at Karstens has been absolutely amazing. I have been at a work course all week. The food and hospitality has been next level fabulous.The facilities are clean and always remain well stocked.I would love to come back again.
Great venue, well organised and extremely helpful, felt i took away a lot more from the course than i expected
We have used Karstens on several occasions.Staff are amazing From the start with Harriet taking our booking selection food options and then LennyWho always sets up the venue to exactly how we want it with breakout roomsState of the art presentation equipment.Its immaculate always clean and Food is always on point.
I attended a training here recently, & I was very impressed with both the venue & the catering. The servings of the food was very generous & very tasty. I have some friends with specific dietary requirements & they were more than happy to accommodate.The venue was clean & well presented. There are different sized rooms available. Lenny is a wonderful host. He always goes out of his way to accommodate.. I especially liked the inclusion of Maori signs around the place.If you are looking for a venue for training I definitely recommend this place. You will not be disappointed
Karstens is a great place to use as a training venue or meeting place. Placed in the heart of Auckland city, it’s easy to get to on public transport, and if you are bringing your own car, there’s lots of car parking lots you can use. There are a number of different sized rooms to accommodate attendees, the facility is clean and tidy, and Lenny works hard to meet individual needs.
Awesome venue, looked after us well for a 3 day course 😊
Great rooms for teams to meet and have learning experiences. Food is great and the staff are very helpful. Thank you Sonny for all your help!
Fantastic venue! Clean and easy to work in spaces, yummy food and friendly staff. Karstens is my go-to training venue.
Great service, friendly and extremely helpful staff, fantastic food
Amazing customer service and great facilities. Went above and beyond to make sure our experience was positive. We will definitely be back for our next workshop.
The food at the Brisbane Karstens venue was fresh, the flavours well-balanced and all beautifully presented. Thank you to Tanya and Chloe for looking after us! 😊
I recently spent 9 days on a training here and rate this venue 10/10 … it was comfortable , food was great , and the staff Sunny and Kamal provided us all with amazing service throughout – super friendly , attentive and on the ball.
This venue is truly amazing. It offers a comfortable and open atmosphere, with impeccably clean facilities. The staff (Kamal and Sunny) were outstanding, providing exceptional service, and the food is simply delicious. Highly recommended!
The staff at Karstens are superb. Huge shout out to Sunny and Kamal. Their friendly and personable nature always had me feeling welcome and appreciated. They took care of everything that was needed. The catering supplied was very tasty and well thought out. The rooms are clean. The lounge area has a comfortable atmosphere.
We spent 9 days at Karstens. A really lovely venue with excellent crew Sunny and Kamal who were so helpful really made the days go well.
Such a great venue and the service Sunny and Kamal provided was amazing. Highly recommend.
I have just completed delivery of 9 days training at Karstens Perth. Throughout the whole training we have enjoyed the support and excellent service provided by Sunny and Kamal. As a trainer who delivers training across Australia I rate Karstens and their team as top notch! They accommodated our needs effectively, welcomed us warmly and made the training run smoothly. I highly recommend Karstens if you are delivering training in Perth
Wow, what a venue. Did a 5 day course at this location. Food and service was next level. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommend using this facility.
The venue was immaculate and classy. The food served was fresh and delicious. The teaching room was fully set up and had all that was required to run any class smoothly. Front of house staff (Sonnie) was exceptionally helpful and available. Would recommend this venue for any teaching/conference needs.
Karstens Sydney is a great place to conduct graduation ceremony, Excellent work by the venue team, Samual and Norra. Team goes beyond with their expectations. Elegant space, clean, modern and easy access to the transportation and parking. Thank you from the VIT team.
Attended this conference centre during an event management course over a week. Catering was excellent every day and had great range of choices. Staff are always lovely and happy to help. Facilities are very clean, comfortable and appealing. Great venue and I highly recommend them!
Nice venue, clean and well appointed. Staff very professional. Food great. A little bit of noise from neighbouring room but not overly distracting.
Phil and Sam were excellent in ensuring connectivity, webinar, and sound was perfect for our event, even though it didn’t start til after 5pm. Venue perfect, and staff were fab! Thanks.
Amazing venue with a great selection of options for catering
Loved the venue, great layout for private meetings/conferences. Food was amazing, staff were very helpful and friendly. PERFECT
We chose this meeting venue not only because of the location but also the fact that we had some potential security issues. The venue manager Tanya was awesome in helping us coordinate over the meeting duration the attendees and also security. Nothing was too difficult and made my job so much easier. It’s a really nice venue and the food is surprisingly good (for this type of thing). We liked it so much, we have booked it again.
Thank you guys for such a great venue with second to none customer service from Tania, Chloe and the crew. We had quite a few last minute adjustments and were handled with the upmost professionalism.
Absolutely loved my experience at Karstens Conference House. The layout of the space was perfect for large group sessions and kept in a clean, tidy and minimalist manner. The facilities and IT support were great along side the fantastic staff. I had a very personalised experience which made the experience even better. 100% recommend!
I have run a number if training sessions here and they really know how to go the extra mile. Great location, great venue, great food and especially great service.

Perfect!
This is a great place for a conference and excellent staff
My experiences at Karsten’s has been fabulous. The staff are delightful and super helpful, with nothing being too much trouble. The venue itself is great – technology works well, the rooms are light and bright and it has a spacious “lounge” and break-out area, and the food and coffee facilities are great. Having facilitated at numerous venues in Perth city, this is one of my favourites and definitely beats hotel venues. I will definitely be recommending my clients consider Karstens.
Our course was very well catered. Delicious gluten free food for a coeliac and different options everyday.
Great facilities, service and food!
Great facilities and outstanding customer service.
What a fantastic place to hold an event. Great service. Toilets were sparkling clean and I love that. Lenny was also so helpful and hospitable. Thanks you for a good day in a great place. PS the food was also great. The doughnuts were soooo good. PS also love the use of Maori language on your signs. Kia Ora for acknowledging our national language.
Excellent and friendly service.
Great experience. Lenny is awesome 👍👍

The BEST place for corporate meetings and events, excellent venue, excellent catering and excellent service – 10 out of 10 – highly recommend
I have been a trainer for 20yrars and worked at countless venues.Kartsens was one of my top experiences.The venue was clean, modern and spacious, as well as having a relaxed and welcoming energy. There is also lots of natural light.What made this venue stand out however, was the super superier customer service. The whole experience throughout the day was seamless and I was supported by the staff who always seemed one atep agead of me. They constantly checked in with me and nothing was too much trouble.Location is also very convenient with a parking garage (reasonably priced for the city – check early bird rates) and you are 2 mins walk from Circular Quay.
Sonny is a legend. We’ve had a few workshops at Karstens this month and he’s gone over and above to accomodate us…including providing a stash of his own English Breakfast tea. It’s the small things. Thanks Sonny and the Karstens crew.
Great Training facility. Good amenities, easy access, close to Train stations
I’ve completed a number of training sessions this year at Karstens Sydney, it’s a great location and in my experience the team are super-supportive and helpful.
Elmer, Operations Manager, and his team are excellent to work with and very accommodating – a great customer experience is a major focus for them and nothing is an issue as they are very committed to ensuring your training/conference day is successful. Karstens is a great venue in Sydney’s CBD – easily accessible by public transport and parking close by. There are a variety of different room sizes for use depending on your needs, facilities are available to enhance your presentations ie whiteboards, flip charts, projectors etc, tea and coffee facilities available and, if required, catering can be arranged and provided. If you’re looking for somewhere to run a training session, a conference or an event it would definitely be worthwhile checking out their website for more details and other interstate locations!
Very nice people and very helpful
Great facility for conferences and meetings with a modern, professional feel to it. The location is excellent, too.
Excellent service provided.
Our function was perfect!
Great facilities, lunch room well stocked with coffee machines,tea options. ..snacks and lunch were plenty . They take care of vegetarian options as well.
I would like to thank the staff Karstens Sydney venue, they were outstanding, service and professionalism at its best; they were there at my beck and call the entire time, five-star service !Congratulations on your brilliant Team!Timber Development Association
All great during our event, friendly staff
All great during our event.
Cornerstone Performance Management held a two day Knowledge Share conference for our people at Karstens Sydney at the end of July. Nothing was a problem, every last minute issue was fixable, the venue and their wonderful team were utterly professional and incredibly accommodating. We had two days of back to back sessions with lots of external presenters and feedback across the board from staff and guests was glowing. Thank you Bea and Lucy in Sydney, and Sara in Melbourne, for your hard work and fantastic support. If you are looking for a professional venue with world class staff I highly recommend Karstens, they are brilliant.
Great venue and great customer service.
Exceptional service, professional rooms and punctual catering
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 facility. Very professional staff who provided our staff with everything needed.
Venue was great. Easy to access. Clean, professional service, good food. Chairs a little uncomfortable for long days.
Great venue, lovely food and incredibly helpful staff. Shout out to Sonny for being so available and helpful.
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.
Great location and facilities are clean and modern. It lacked x factor in service but was good. Reason for 4 stars not 5 is lack of x factor and capsule coffee…
Great venue of meetings with your team. Central city location, good audio visual and food as well.
Really happy with the servicerooms are a little tired but functionalstaff are AMAZING!!!
Very well organised and professional. Also – beautiful break-out lounge area.
Very good service, food quality and room set up.
Very good venue
We held a technical conference here for 3 days earlier this month for approx 80 people, across 5 rooms plus a computer lab. The venue was great and the staff were awesome, they were SO helpful and incredibly quick to assist with all our requirementsOnly small problem was that we had intermittent issues with the public wifi
Nice facilities. Have done a lot of training here and the staff are always very friendly
