The bunk on the A330-300 is great. Cool, comfortable, plenty long (I'm 6' and was plenty comfortable). Also space to sit up and read, watch a movie on your device or whatever. Not a lot of area to change, but enough. Also, a double set of curtains kept light and noise out when the FAs go by to their area (it's right next to yours). They never woke me up. It's mid-airplane, under the floor. I always slept well down there.

On the -200, it's in the tail, and noisier because it's behind the wing (so you're getting engine noise and I think you're up against the skin of the plane). I used ear plugs on the -200, didn't have to on the -300. It's much tighter when you're getting ready, with little space to change or even put your shirt on. It has two bunks back there, in a row, one is higher than the other one, but they don't quite overlap. I didn't like those bunks as much, but I think they have the same mattress. Also, good luck getting to the cockpit after third break when the carts are out - plan an extra 5 minutes for that!

Just my opinions - I didn't fly the -900, it was all west coast when I was on the 300 and got bumped off before I saw it on the east coast.
You missed out! It’s far and away better than the 300 bunk. Heck if it were further forward it would even be better than the 777 bunk.
