Default Hostel directory via Google cell phone

Turns out Google has this free cell phone text message service which
lets you search locally for hostels, diners or even a friend's phone
number based on your location. If you know the city or even cooler if
you have a hand held GPS like an $80 Garmin Geko you can blast in the
latitude and longitude and find the address, distance, compass
direction and phone number:
