Generally it should be safe. I've walked alone (day & nite) in the streets of bangkok and saigon. Be alert and don't look sotong (will make u look like an easy prey...watch NGC for more details). Pickpockets and robbers tend to pick on perceivingly weaker individuals. With a group of us, we just need to watch each others' back and its fine. Can also practice walking in formation!

Suggestion:
1) Best to make a comparison between the packaged over nite rate vs. planning on our own. Adding an extra bed or 2 (if there's room) will bring down the cost a lot.
2) Sites to view hotel rooms:
