It depends on where they come from. (Ask culture vs Guess culture, etc.) If you don't know, try asking “Are you sure it wouldn't inconvenience you? I could also find a hostel nearby” or something.
I really wouldn't say that, at least not in that way. It will generally be heard as "Please provide more reassurance that it won't inconvenience you". If I've offered something and am thinking better of it, there's still no way to respond to "are you sure that's OK" with anything other than "yes, I'm sure that's OK", and I resent it all the more for being forced to say that. Alicorn's suggestion is good.
