Worst club in London. Pretends to be members only yet everyone gets in if they pay the outrageous cover charge. The decor goes hand in hand with the cheapness of the women in attendance. The music is like being stuck in a car full of trey songz wannabes. We suspect there must be a whore ring operating in the premises as most of the ladies seemed very pay as you go. Avoid like the plague.

To be honest, Alto doesn't even deserve 1 star. I am currently contemplating whether I just had a long nightmare, or whether I actually did go to Alto. Firstly, the people that seem to think its difficult to get in need to get their eyes checked because they don't have a door policy. Secondly, I get extremely claustrophobic, and my Alto experience was unbreathable to say the least. The lingering smell of hairy armpits and unwashed males was quite honestly disgusting. If hell was a place on Earth, it would be Alto. Its an embarrassment to the west end nightlife and to be frank, people that go to Alto need to get some taste in music, clothes, and attitude. I would strongly suggest all members to look up 'etiquette' in the dictionary. Finally, if you can't get into Alto, you shouldn't be allowed to socialise in Central London, maybe you should try Essex?

Absolute rubbish unless your a member or are lucky enough to get in on guestlist. The staff are rude, the people who organise the guestlist pretend they will get you in but in reality you just stand in a massive que. Everyone must have ID or you will not get in. We were told that we would get in free because we were on guestlist but because we were in the que for so long, by the time we got to the front we were told it was £20 to get in.

If you are planning your night here make sure you have a back up place to go or you will be very disappointed.

First of all this is a members ONLY club, even if your on the guestlist there's no gaurentee that you will get in as they are very picky. Girls are free, Men pay £20. Personally I think the only reason I got in was because I was with a large group of people and the organiser of the night is a regular at this club so he got us a private table and free drinks all night which was GREAT! I had a fantastic time at Alto, the drinks are very expensive but it didn't really matter as all my drinks were anyway. The music was OK, I requested a few songs from the DJ but he refused as he said he was restricted to play a certain type of genre only (comercial r&b, dance, house). I know for a fact that if I went to Alto alone with a random friend I would have been denied entry as they like 'as few blacks as possible' at these type of clubs. So choose who you go with carefully!

Had an ok time at this club. Door staff are really nice aswel as bar staff BUT the club gets really really packed and the aircon system is just not enough for the amount of people in there. Drinks really really expensive so make sure you only go there month end!
