At Camelot Campus 015 we already pay very high rent and amenities costs every month. Despite this there are numerous flaws to this housing development. We believe it needs to be run differently.
The communal cinema and kitchen are locked unless you pay extortionate amounts to hire it- as well as leaving a 100 euro deposit prior to use. This was never stipulated in the advertising for the housing, nor was it mentioned in our contractual agreements.
There needs to be a system in place for the weekends when there is no one to service the front desk- currently it means access to the cinema and kitchen is restricted to weekdays only.
These amenities should be offered for free- with a sign up and deposit taken to maintain accountability in the case of damage etc to the facilities. Over the weekend a similar system needs to be negotiated between Camelot and its tenants.
Secondly, as it stands at the moment the games areas are useless. While there are multiple games tables, none are supplied with the equiptment needed to use them. Unless you buy your own you cannot play. This is an additional unexpected fee from Camelot.
Thirdly in these communal and games areas the lights are automatically turned off at 11 pm every evening which cuts off your social activities. As these lights do not impact the rooms of the tenants, we believe they should be left on over night or turned to a sensor so that if there is someone using the space they aren't forced to do so in the dark.
Another complaint is the cost of laundry. Currently not all the washing/ drying machines are in working order, which is hugely inconvenient for such a large housing building. Further more the cost of laundry is 2-3 x higher than other student accommodations that offer the same service. The price of this amenity is also compounded by the 4.5 euro fee addition to load money onto our Camelot card. Currently it is not stipulated if we will receive money left on the card back to our accounts at the end of our stay.
Finally is the waste build up outside the bike sheds at the entrance to Camelot Campus, as it stands the waste is being disposed of once a week and there is no differentiation between rubbish waste, recycling and organic matter. This is a matter that the Dutch government has spent considerable time trying to implement through its waste and refuse sorting programs. We are also situated opposite TU Delft which is at the forefront of waste reuse and recycling. For a residential buildling situated where it is, its not good enough to only provide open skips bins being emptied once a week. Not to mention the smell that affects the lower ground apartments on the east facing side of the building.

I agree with we stated problem. Especially additional cost of cleaning service which doesn't do its work properly or at all. In my contract was final rent 616e. Now they added 7.95e to those 616e!
Laundry prices are indeed ridiculous. And I didn't even know about the stuff with the cinema and games room. When signing the contract I asked about that and apparently they didn't correctly answer it at all. I was also kind of surprised of there being no TV connection with COAX-cable. They told me a TV connection was available and when I asked about it at the check-in he said they decided to remove that months ago. Quite weird that they didn't mention it at the signing of the contract. The information you get at the signing of the contract doesn't match what you eventually get.
This sums up pretty much everything. Got a couple of suggestions: The foul smell in the fourth floor common area is basically making it unusable. That should account for a part of the service costs as well. Also, they should fix the drainage system infront of the bike sheds, because a lot of dirty water accumulates over there everytime it rains heavily. Add to that all the unsorted rubbish that just keeps lying around and we have our own germ-park; don't think anyone wants that. Good job with the petition guys. :-) ~628
It is our right to use the common area, so it should be free at all times. And the high cost of laundry need to be changed as well. Not to mention there are many things still with problem now, internet for example. Please help to build a better environment for the tenants, thank you.
I agree. Also the lights in the common area are turned off early, which renders the play area (Table tennis, fusbal, pool) useless.

I don't think they should be even charging for the cinema or common kitchen. I don't even support the increase in rent to have full time access to the cinema. I don't feel paying even a penny more is worth the services they are providing.
