Absolutely shocking place. We didn't need to queue as we were part of a corporate party with ridiculous VIP wristbands but were soon acquainted with the Eurotrash dollybirds who took over the entire ladies toilets and sat with their feet in the sink whilst doing their make up so you couldn't even wash your hands! How exclusive! Toilets were filthy, some were blocked and loo roll was at a premium. The place itself looked tired and not as glam as it does on the website. Cocktails were awful and the security staff were shocking. Thank goodness this place is closing down, avoid at all (hefty) costs!

The club has a nice decor and is rather spacious, but once we got there it felt like there is a bunch of girls who are regulars and go there for work. They dress pretty much the same and it seems that they wait to be approached...being around them even in a "celebrity" location makes one feel cheap...What dissapointed me the most is that most of the crowd just stands still most of the time, when the idea is that everybody should be dancing and having fun. Instead, it seems that all of us were in some sort of trap- too reluctant to leave and bored to stay.

There was a live sax-player, but the good tunes were constantly interuppted, changed and then for 5-6min the exact same beat would continue..I was surprised that all people were too self-concious and couldn't just relax and enjoy the time, the ones that did must have had a very strong hungover the next day.But otherwise than that- a club like any, minus the fun. I didn't find it that "posh" or "exclusive".

Yes people took more effort in dressing up and girls wore tighter clothes and the heels of their shoes were unbelievably high, but most of them didn't look expensive or exclusive, just betterr-than-average-quality-sluts. So if you are up for being bored out of your mind and feeling like paying £15 for a drink- go to Dolce. But if you want some (decent) fun and dance the night away pick any other non-posh club!

This club definatelly have pros and cons. The venue is beautifull, the door staff is a bit moody but if you catch them in a good day they can be very nice (surprising, I know!), the dood girl tho never make you feel welcome, makes me think that she doesn't really enjoy her job. The drinks a bit expensive, but I suppose its the price you pay for a celeb venue, which I do not mind paying but the bartenders most of the time prefer to chat the girls and forget to serve people! One of the bartenders was serving me from the other side of the bar, didn't bother moving towards me and instead was just shoulting to get me order... wot da ...??!The DJ's... well, it does seem that they're just pressing "play" in the dh booth and they always cut the songs when is just about to get good.Anyway, lucky me I always had a good time with friends when I am there, but its not a club that I look forward every week to go to.

vile..is the only word i can use to describe this place. i have been clubbing to most of the "exclusive" clubs in London, but NEVER EVER have i been treated in this way. Despite using the house guestlist and having our names confirmed and being a group of 5 attractive girls we still had trouble getting in, and the lady on the door was disgustingly rude. When we got in it was so empty we decided to leave but were persuaded to stay by a few of the nicer door staff, after complaining about our treatment at the door. Even when we were persuaded to stay one of the "charming" doorwomen decided to shout abuse at us! Ignoring this,the club was very empty and full of the tackiest people i have ever seen. Most of the girls looked like prostitutes, wearing sleazy clothes and parading themselves in an unsavoury manner. The men were as slimy as you can get, most would not and could not take no for an answer! What was more disturbing was the large groups of men who were older than my grandfather. I can safely say will not be returning to Dolce, it definitely does not carry the exclusive tag and you can find more class in a brothel..

Ok so i agree with a lot of the comments made, this place is ridiculous to get into and the tables are so ridiculously sized its a joke. My friend knew someone promoting so he had pre booked a table. Despite bookin the table we still waited outside forever. This looked like common practice. Oh and the women who tick off your name are no funny, all they do is flick there hair about and strut about like they're in a commercial. its worth a laugh just looking at them.Anyway the stress of gettin in aside me and my friends did have the most amazin night, it was halloween, people were in crazy costumes, there was a saxophonist, ridiculous sized bottles of belvadere and a great party atmosphere. The whole place was decorated and most people were drunk or very tipsy and ready to dance.The music was very eccletic, going from dance, to rnb, to house to pop. So we danced the night away and our waitor was very attentive so we were never short of drink.I definitely think someone should adress the queue situation outside but all in all i think if your looking for a club with a party vibe, where everyone is enjoying themselves this is the place to be. So fight your way in people! :)

My best friend arranged to celebrate her birthday here on a saturday night. I arrived, queued up and next minute later my friend calls to say that none of the girls, including the birthday girl were allowed to enter. Why? Because they didn't fit the image. Pathetic. Totally ruined her birthday.

I totally agree with all the above comments. This place is the worst i have EVER come across. We paid over a grand for a table that was no bigger than a matchbox and 2 seats for 7 of us! Spent a small mortgage on this complete waste of space club and as the comments detail above the bar staff waitress service, etc was absolutley terrible, rude obnoxuois, etc, etc. I wouldn't even have given this place a single star on the review but it wouldn't let me! There were surcharges all over the place! In fact i think i spent more on the surcharges than on the drink - complete and utter rubbish - steer extremely clear!
