They are very different types of hotels, but the standard of the rooms is quite similar. If you just compare them room to room (furnishings, bed, decor, TV and audio, bathroom,etc.) then the Dream is certainly at least on par with the Majestic Grande, maybe even a bit more luxurious. The rooms at the Dream have much better entertainment systems (TV and audio). The bar and restaurant at the Dream are impressive ( cool, dude, cool!), although the prices are very high (350 baht for a cocktail).

However, the Dream is a much smaller hotel (100 guest rooms on six floors), while the Majestic Grande has 250 rooms in a sky-scraper type building (25 floors at least). It has a swimming pool and other facilities the Dream doesn't. You have much better views of the city from the windows of the MG than the Dream. The prices are roughly compatible for each room category, although that will depend on what sort of deal you can swing via a booking agency or coporate discount.

Here's the breakdown of room types for the MG:

Grande Superior (28 sq.m.)
Grande Premier (35 sq.m.)
Grande Deluxe (40 sq.m.)
Grande Executive Suite (65 sq.m.)
Grande Wonder Suite (70 sq.m.)
Majestic Grande Suite (240 sq.m.)

And for the Dream:
Classic Room (31 sq.m.)
Deluxe Room (35 sq.m.)
Junior Suite (60 sq.m.)
Dream Suite (65 sq.m.)

So it depends what you want and value most. If a pool is a must for you, then it's the MG. But if you only want to impress the ladies with a cool room, you might think about the Dream. It also depends how much value being right at the heart of Nana area - the MG wins. As always, up to you.
