If you don't mind staying south of the Nana BTS station, check out the Park Royal Suites. (Formerly known as the Phachara Suites.).
They offer a "One Bedroom Executive Suite" that over 100 square...

This is good advice for guys who prefer a slightly more spacious place to stay. Here are three more places with a serviced apartment setup. You could also call them all-suite hotels.
SHAMA...

Check out the Shama Suites. The main entrance is on the east side of Soi 2, just a few steps from Sukhumvit. (Next door to the J. W. Marriott.) But the Shama also has a back door that connects to...

Mr. Natty Bumpo.
Please pick up a white courtesy phone for a message.
And while you're at it, clean out your in box.

Shama Suites, just south of the J.W. Marriott on Soi 2. They have a washer only in the kitchen area. You can dry your clothes on a little rack out on the balcony. One note: Like many hotels, the...

Glad you are enjoying the Shama Suites. Be sure to get up to the swimming pool. The view is spectacular and as I recall the wi-fi signal is decent.

That wasn't me, Mr. Bumpo. But I think any time you can find a one-bedroom suite for under 3,000 baht per night it's a good deal. I will add that hotel to my list of places to keep an eye on.

At the risk of re-opening the long-running debate over the current state of Soi Cowboy, suffice it to say that these days I prefer the Nana Entertainment Plaza and environs, so I have made a careful...
-
I have not stayed at the Grand Centre Point Terminal 21, but I have stayed at the Grand Millennium. The location is excellent. Soi Cowboy is only a short walk away. In fact, the Grand Millennium is...

There are several CIP Lounges in various locations at BKK. See the attached chart. More information here:

Normally the CIP Lounges are open...

If you liked Citadines on Soi 23 for the location and the extra space (and refrigerator) found in a serviced apartment, you should consider the Admiral Premier. It's a few steps farther from Soi...
-
Admiral Premier is really very close to Soi Cowboy. But as this gent cogently notes, the streets are very uneven and the lighting leaves much to be desired. So when I'm booked at the Admiral Premier...
-
I noticed the same thing on the hotel's web site, especially the charming photograph of the family watching dad grill some burgers on one of the terraces. (A staged photo, by the way. You can see the...
-
The Shama Suites on Soi 2 next to the J. W. Marriott also has washing machines in its suites. They are noisier than the washers at the Admiral Premier, and even the "quick wash" cycle takes quite...
-
There is a street that Google Maps calls "Sukhumvit 6 Alley" connecting Soi 6 to Sukhumvit Road. It runs northeast and dead ends into Sukhumvit just a few meters west of the Nana BTS station. If you...

Admiral Premier.
Phachara Suites.
Shama Suites.
Jasmine Suites

As others have noted, the Nana Hotel is not recommended. It's rather run down.
If being very close to the Nana Plaza is important to you, consider lodging at the Shama serviced apartments:

And let's not forget this graceful turn of phrase:
"If you like to press a girl up against the glass and fuck the night away feeling the gentle heat of the rising sun on your balls then this is...

I'd be interested in why Mr. Kumbu decided against the Phachara Suites, if he's willing to elaborate.
As for the Millennium Grand, the room I stayed in was not very large. But it was nicely laid...
-
As Mr. Bumpo cogently observes, the general rule is that the folks in the hotels near Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza have long since become inured to the punter scene. That said, like Mr. Kumbu I try to...
-
The "Admiral Suite" does feature a balcony. See the photos I have attached. There are sliding glass doors from both the bedroom and the living room that open onto the balcony, which overlooks Soi...
-
To the contrary, old boy. The Admiral Premier is convenient to both the BTS *and* the MRT.
DIRECTIONS: Left out the front door to the end of the block, then right to Soi 23. Left on Soi 23 past...

Like Mr. Skogis, I too prefer to stay in a larger room or suite. There are plenty of places that offer that type of lodging in Bangkok, but I had not heard of the Grande Centre Point Hotel Terminal...
-
My experience has been just the opposite, with lower rates on the Phachara Suites web site than on the hotel booking web site.
Just looked at rates for a high season stay in December of this year....

I see on the web site that they offer several different types of suites:

I was wondering if Bill (or anybody else) could opine in...
