I travel around the country providing education on wound management. Chloe and Tanya at the Brisbane branch of Karstens are my favourite team and place to be. They are the benchmark for all other Karsten facilities and indeed all conference facilitators around Australia.

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

Vivienne Broderick

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.

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.

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.

Anne Ford

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!

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.

Liz Smiley

Great venue and great customer service.

Olivia M

Exceptional service, professional rooms and punctual catering

Karen S

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

James Miller

Dave Perry

Samuel Spettigue

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.

Gemma Lilley

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.

David Knight

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…
