Corridor VS hallway

Are 'corridor' and 'hallway' exactly the same in meaning?
  

Top answer

They can mean the same things, as one might use corridor or hallway when talking about a building. However, corridor can also mean a passageway on a train or a ship, or even in an exterior location between buildings, and these are instances when one would not use hallway. Hallways are always in a building; corridors may or may not be in a building.
