I'm a freelancer with a potential new client who has a big company based in India. They have asked if I will travel to India from the UK for a week. I have told them I'm prepared to do this in premium economy which they are fine with. They asked if a 4 star hotel would be ok and I said I would come back to them. Anywhere else in the world it probably would be ok, but having travelled to India a few time s would I be unreasonable to ask for a 5 star hotel (chain)

Have they given a budget for your hotel? Then you can choose your own. I think 4/5 star is a bit meh but if I was travelling alone to India I 100% would want to choose my own hotel

Depends on the city. Where is it?
