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!

The club is in a good location and pretty much let in anyone who is stupid enough to pay the £20 cover charge. However the bouncers are the worst in London. Avoid this place like the plague!

I go clubbing twice a week in the West End, and I must say I have never been into a more prentencious club than Dolce. The staff were so rude that the clientele seemed to mimic them in order to make themselves feel more important. Just walking though the club everyone was staring at everyone else looking them up and down with distaste. Everyone seemed to think so highly of themselves in there for some reason, it was horrible.

Movida and Crystal are far less prentencious, with lovely staff and a nice crowd who always make you feel welcome. When we arrived at Dolce we were confronted with about 5 seperate groups of people arguing with the door pickers who were being very rude back to them. It was not a pleasant atmosphere to say the least.

I agree with the other reviews on the staff...and I was in there on a Monday night! The woman at the door was so obnoxious that if I had been the one leading the group, we would have never entered. In all fairness, there were a few members of the staff who were nice to me, but they were still horrible to my guy friends. When I was really hot at one point, a bartender was kind enough to offer me a water (and not charge!!). Also, It was packed (I've seen many a filled club, but it's rare that I've actually had to step outside because I was feeling too claustrophobic). Furthermore, it didn't really seem all that VIP. The decor and crowd were tacky. We got a fishbowl (£150), which was quite good, though not strong. For now, I'll keep looking for another good club...

great club ...but the rudest bar staff i've ever come across.

This club has an amazing barocco interior design. However, for a club that invested so much into the lounge interior, toilets are terrible. You would probably find a better toilet at MacDonalds. Combined with a lack of essential products for cocktails - by 12 o'clock they've run out of mint for mojitos. Margaritas were tasty though. Moreover, I dont mean to be mean, but for a club that puts itself as "vip, members and guestist only" - it is full of loud women with no manners or class whatsoever. There is no actual dancefloor (apart from a little podium where you can freely dance) so I would say that it is rather a lounge than a club. Music is so-so: average. Yet, TV monitors were constantly showing "SinCity" and regulary were stuck on the disk menu. Overall - give it two stars, just for the interior.

A horrfying experience!

I was in Dolce on a Saturday night and booked an area for my guests (football players and WAGS). What happened was unbelievable...

The service was terrible as the waiters and waitresses were soooo posh and ignored us completely. Nearly NO service and they charged us 15% for that!!!
The drinks? Well, let's say that I 've had worse cocktails, in some London Pubs...
But the star of the night was the Manager!
You see, we only asked for an explanation to our 6300 bill when he got really raw at us and told us to "pay and don't come back in here". Finally and after bothering to check it, he admitted that we were given the WRONG BILL and we paid ours for 4000.

Well, is that what it takes to get some service? Or a bit of RESPECT? At the end of the day we paid 4000 for a group of 9 of us... Pitty...
With staff and manager as such, we have put this club on the BLACKLIST of out nightout destinations.
