Train station to Agora Saint Germain transportation?

We%26#39;re arriving on Friday afternoon and staying at Agora Saint Germain. What is the best method to get to our hotel? Bus, train, taxi? Any idea of costs? Thanks for any feedback.

I%26#39;ve stayed on the Agora St Germain several times and I would recommend a taxi. The cheapest way is the RER to St Michel, but the transfer to the metro for one stop to Maubert-Mutualite isn%26#39;t worth the effort to go between the metro and the RER and you%26#39;re left with a 10 minute walk with luggage. I have also taken the RER to the Gare du Nord and then a taxi. This is a good option as long as you come out the correct exit, somehow we ended up walking around the outside of the station trying to find the taxi stand. Ultimately, it depends on how jet-lagged you are, how much luggage you have, and tight your budget is. Ever since I got pickpocket on the train from the airport, because I was too jet-lagged to realize what was happening, I%26#39;ve taken a taxi. Once you get there, I%26#39;m sure that you will enjoy the neighborhood. It%26#39;s a convenient location, but isn%26#39;t too touristy.

Thanks for the suggestion. Any idea how much a taxi will cost from the Paris Nord train station to the hotel. We%26#39;ll be arriving from London by train.

From your hotel%26#39;s web site --

Gare du Nord station:

Taxi or metro line 4 towards Porte d%26#39;Orléans and get off at Odéon, then transfer to metro line 10 towards Austerlitz Station and get off at Maubert-Mutualité (150 meters from the Hotel).
