To ask employer to pay for 5* hotel in India

[Hummusandcrisps]

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)

Thanks everyone i bit the bullet and asked for 5 star western hotel/chain - it's in Delhi. I'd be travelling alone but likely would have a driver to pick me up each day. I've been to Delhi before but with a group and it wasn't the kind of city you can just walk out of your hotel and go for a wander. So I'd prefer to have decent facilities, good food, good reviews. I have stayed in a 4 star hotel before in Delhi and it felt like a 3 star or lower.

I also suggest getting a verified /recommended driver given the sexual assaults in Delhi.
