Perfect for the hallway. Any mud or dirt brushes off really easily (I was worried about keeping it clean), and we have plenty of traffic with 3 dogs, and 3 kids. It's been down for a few months and still looks like new. For the price it looks much more expensive, I would highly recommend. I have a laminate floor and there's no gripper but it doesn't slide around. Occasionally it shifts (usually when the dogs are running) but it actually stays in place very well considering I didn't opt for the gripper as well.
Considering getting a second one for the kitchen now I know it cleans easily.
