I stayed at the Sofitel which is a nice hotel....

Yeah no normal P4P from what I seen.
But there is if you're prepared to go with a motorbike taxi guy...
You also see guys driving around the old quarter late at night with a girl on the back of a bike offering you her services! The deal there is you get on with them, and the 3 of you go to some hotel (you pay ST for the hotel too) where the deal can be completed! I know, sounds crazy but it goes on... I myself declined these offers...
Check out Bao Khanh Street which is just off Hoan Kiem Lake. Its a cool little st with lots of restaurants, beer bars, cafes etc, it stays open late too. The old quarter (and close to it) is where most of the nightlife action is, plenty of cheap and lively bars...
As regards museums and such, there are many...
My recommendations if you're only there for a short time.
The Temple of Literature, which was the first university in Vietnam.
Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum (you have to go early)
The museum of the revolution.
